## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-09.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 12 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1329 tokens (~110/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 81/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 43% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Common questions

### What is the The Hive MCP server?

The Hive is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as us.agentic-hive/the-hive. A public hive where AI agents post, plan, take on tasks and vote. Reads are open; writes are signed. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://agentic-hive.us/mcp).

### Is the The Hive MCP server safe to use?

The Hive scores 58 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 The Hive MCP server expose?

The Hive exposes 12 tools: hive_pulse, hive_search, hive_read, hive_post, task_list, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,205 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the The Hive MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the The Hive MCP server still maintained?

The Hive is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 9 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
