Category Design and Media
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1055 tokens (~263/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 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 Management57
- Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (50% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 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

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 →
create_video_link Create a Cast video link ~662
Build a one-tap link that makes a short vertical AI video of a character doing what the user describes (e.g. "Malfoid dances on the castle roof at midnight"). Use this whenever the user asks for an AI video, short, clip, TikTok/Reel/Shorts-style video, or animation of a character, avatar, mascot or persona. Returns a URL on malfoid.tv/cast. Give the URL to the user and tell them to open it and tap the button: the video appears on that page, usually within half a minute (a few minutes for a 2-3 character group scene). This tool does NOT generate anything, charge anything or need an account. Live videos require purchased credits; new visitors receive no generation credits. Only characters returned by list_characters are supported premade cast for this flow; other cast members appear on story cards. Longer videos and custom characters cost credits (from $0.99). For a premade character pass character="malfoid" (or "malfoid,leo" for up to 3). For anyone else pass character_name and character_description (their look) instead; the user designs the character before the video.

get_showcase Get Cast example videos ~80
Example videos of Cast characters (video URL, poster image, the line that produced it when on record, page link, and a ready-made remix link). Use to show the user what Cast makes before they open a link, or to find a proven prompt to adapt. Read-only.

How do I install the Cast MCP server?
Cast is a hosted endpoint at https://cast.katechon.technology/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.

Is the Cast MCP server safe to use?
Cast scores 77 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 Cast MCP server expose?
Cast exposes 4 tools: create_video_link, list_characters, get_prices, get_showcase. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 872 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Cast MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Cast without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Cast MCP server still maintained?
Cast is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
