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 Security50
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 0 of 28 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency100
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to tidybytetools/json-shaper-lite). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 626 tokens (~313/item across 2 items; 2 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 Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 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.
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

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 →
shape_file_to_json Turn a text file into JSON ~284
Read a local text file (key: value notes, .csv, .tsv or a Markdown table) and return typed JSON. Use this when the data is in a file on this computer, so you don't have to paste it. The file is only read, never changed. Do not use it for Excel (.xlsx), PDF or other binary files, for files that are already JSON, or for app logs. path: full path to a UTF-8 text file, up to 5 MB. format: "auto" (default) picks for you. Or force "kv" (key: value or key=value lines, a blank line starts a new record), "csv" (comma, semicolon, tab or | separated, first row is the header) or "markdown" (a | pipe | table, first row is the header). Returns {"format": <format used>, "data": <JSON>}, the same as shape_text_to_json.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | – | Input format. "auto" picks for you; "kv" = key: value lines, "csv" = CSV/TSV, "markdown" = a pipe table. |
| path | string | yes | Full path to a UTF-8 text file (.txt, .csv, .tsv, .md), up to 5 MB. |

shape_text_to_json Turn text into JSON ~342
Turn pasted text (key: value notes, CSV/TSV or a Markdown table) into typed JSON. Use this when you have plain-text records or a table in the conversation and need clean JSON you can trust, without guessing values yourself. It is plain code, not an AI model, so the same text always gives the same JSON and nothing is made up. Do not use it when the text is already JSON, is nested data, is app logs, or is a file on disk (use shape_file_to_json for files). format: "auto" (default) picks for you. Or force "kv" (key: value or key=value lines, a blank line starts a new record), "csv" (comma, semicolon, tab or | separated, first row is the header) or "markdown" (a | pipe | table, first row is the header). Returns {"format": <format used>, "data": <JSON>}. data is a list of records for CSV and tables. For key: value text it is one object, or a list when blank lines split it into several records. Keys become lower_snake_case. Numbers become numbers, yes/no and true/false become booleans, empty or "null" becomes null.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | – | Input format. "auto" picks for you; "kv" = key: value lines, "csv" = CSV/TSV, "markdown" = a pipe table. |
| text | string | yes | The text to turn into JSON: key: value lines, CSV/TSV or a Markdown table. |

Is the json-shaper-lite MCP server safe to use?
json-shaper-lite scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 json-shaper-lite MCP server expose?
json-shaper-lite exposes 2 tools: shape_text_to_json, shape_file_to_json. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 626 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the json-shaper-lite MCP server still maintained?
json-shaper-lite is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 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 json-shaper-lite MCP server under?
json-shaper-lite declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
