## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-07 (score 77, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 27 to 37. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 8 days of observed history at the previous scan, 11 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-10-04 (score 76, +4)

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.27

### 2026-09-28 (score 72, 0)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

## Common questions

### What is the VTEX IO MCP server?

VTEX IO MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.zeluizr/vtex-io-mcp. Scaffold VTEX IO apps, Node services and GraphQL, look up Store Framework block props, search docs. This page covers its npm package (vtex-io-mcp).

### Is the VTEX IO MCP server safe to use?

VTEX IO MCP scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 7 October 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 VTEX IO MCP server expose?

VTEX IO MCP exposes 9 tools: lookup-block-props, add-block, scaffold-vtex-app, scaffold-node-service, scaffold-graphql, and 4 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,063 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the VTEX IO MCP server still maintained?

VTEX IO MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 7 October 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 VTEX IO MCP server under?

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