Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security0
  • Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
  • Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM, so there is no dependency list to read.Unverified

Schema Quality & AI Usability73
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 5401 tokens (~270/item across 20 items; 16 tools + 4 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management13
  • Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage83
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 39% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety92
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 2 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "run_select_query" implies "execute" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Partial
  • An AI judge read all 18 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

Install

How do I install the StackQL MCP Server server?

StackQL MCP Server runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i docker.io/stackql/stackql-mcp:0.12.718. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 16 exposed · ~1,553 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

source_tierstring–primary, fallback or snapshot
source_urlstring–citation: URL or embedded path the catalogue was loaded from
staleboolean–true when served from cache or snapshot after fetch failure

No examples provided.

reload_credentials ~167

Live-reload provider credentials: re-sources the server's configured env file into the process environment, invalidates cached auth contexts, and reports resolution status for every installed provider (optional provider arg filters the report; changed field flags values that differ from before). Never returns secret values. Credentials resolve automatically at query time - never call this at session start or before queries. Call only after a query fails with a credential resolution error (fix the env file first, then reload, then retry) or when the user says credentials have been rotated or changed. If the report shows changed: false after a failure, the file was not updated - ask the user rather than retrying.

NameTypeReqDescription
formatstring–text content render format: markdown (default) or json

NameTypeReqDescription
env_filestring–configured dotenv file path, empty when none configured
env_file_sourcedbooleanyestrue when the env file was found and sourced on this call

sourced_varsnull|array–names of environment variables set from the env file (values are never returned)

No examples provided.

run_lifecycle_operation ~112

Execute a stackql EXEC lifecycle operation (eg EXEC aws.ec2.instances.start_instances ...). Real cloud side effects. Discover available operations and required params via list_methods and describe_method. Returns {messages, timestamp}. Gated by server mode.

NameTypeReqDescription
formatstring–text content render format: markdown (default) or json
row_limitinteger––
sourcestring–query library id when the SQL originated from a library entry; attribution only
sqlstringyes–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

run_mutation_query ~122

Execute INSERT/UPDATE/REPLACE/DELETE against the provider. Real side effects. Returns {messages, timestamp}. Gated by server mode. Consult query_library_search for a vetted template before composing SQL from scratch; when the SQL came from a library entry, pass its id as source.

NameTypeReqDescription
formatstring–text content render format: markdown (default) or json
row_limitinteger––
sourcestring–query library id when the SQL originated from a library entry; attribution only
sqlstringyes–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

run_select_query ~103

Execute a SELECT. Returns {rows}. Reads only. Consult query_library_search for a vetted template before composing SQL from scratch; when the SQL came from a library entry, pass its id as source.

NameTypeReqDescription

server_info ~59

Get server identity and runtime: stackql version, backing SQL engine, provider registry location, mode, read-only flag. Call on demand - eg to diagnose a refused/gated operation or check version-specific behavior. Not needed at session start or before queries.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

validate_select_query ~121

Parse and plan a SELECT without executing; the provider's credentials must still resolve, as for execution. Returns {valid, errors}. Use when iterating on syntax or plan errors, or pre-flighting complex/expensive queries - don't validate routinely; run_select_query surfaces the same errors.

Common questions

What is the StackQL MCP Server server?

StackQL MCP Server is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.stackql/stackql-mcp. SQL-native query and provisioning engine for cloud infrastructure, served over MCP. This page covers its container image (docker.io/stackql/stackql-mcp:0.12.718).

Is the StackQL MCP Server server safe to use?

StackQL MCP Server scores 41 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the StackQL MCP Server server expose?

StackQL MCP Server exposes 16 tools: describe_method, describe_resource, list_methods, list_providers, list_registry, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,553 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the StackQL MCP Server server still maintained?

StackQL MCP Server is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 26 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the StackQL MCP Server server under?

StackQL MCP Server declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
