Schema Quality & AI Usability52
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 3793 tokens (~50/item across 75 items; 75 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage71
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "recipes_secure_context_eval_pack" implies "eval" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 75 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

How do I install the Security Recipes MCP server?

Security Recipes is a hosted endpoint at https://security-recipes.ai/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

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 →

Common questions

What is the Security Recipes MCP server?

Security Recipes is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.stevologic/security-recipes. Read-only CVE intelligence, remediation playbooks, and agent setup guides. Not a scanner. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://security-recipes.ai/mcp).

Is the Security Recipes MCP server safe to use?

Security Recipes scores 70 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 Security Recipes MCP server expose?

Security Recipes exposes 75 tools: recipes_server_info, recipes_mcp_upstream_servers, recipes_mcp_servers_list, recipes_mcp_server_get, recipes_mcp_upstream_tools, and 70 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,793 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Security Recipes MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Security Recipes without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Security Recipes MCP server still maintained?

Security Recipes is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
