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 Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- 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 & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (Apache-2.0).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 95 days ago).Pass
- Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability82
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 609 tokens (~121/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage95
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 86% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
get_index ~113
Resolve a FLOPS index to its source-opaque PUBLIC payload (the public citation contract). Returns {index_id, value, unit, as_of, data_tier, confidence, verify_url, citation_url, permalink}. Prefer this when you intend to CITE the value. Also exposed as the MCP resource flops://index/<INDEX_ID>.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| index_id | string | yes | FLOPS index id / slug, e.g. 'FLOPS-H100-OD' or 'FLOPS-A100-SPOT'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_price ~119
Fetch the current published value for a FLOPS compute price index. Returns the published envelope as-is: {index_id, value, unit, as_of, delayed, data_tier, confidence, change_24h, disclaimer, methodology_url, verify_url, citation_url, permalink, upgrade} -- the 14-field envelope. Values are delayed and indicative. Use get_index for the reduced, citation-only payload.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | FLOPS index slug, e.g. FLOPS-H100-OD or FLOPS-A100-SPOT. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_indices ~95
List all public FLOPS compute-price indices. Returns {count, indices[]} where each row is {index_id, family, value, unit, as_of, confidence, change_24h, delayed}. Use this to discover available indices before calling get_index or verify. No auth required.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| family_filter | string | – | Optional family prefix to filter by (e.g. 'FLOPS-H100'). Case-sensitive substring match. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_indices ~69
Resolve a free-text query to canonical FLOPS index slugs. Use when you don't know the exact slug — e.g. 'H100 spot' returns matching catalog entries.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| q | string | yes | Free-text query (e.g. 'H100 on-demand'). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify ~213
Check a FLOPS index value against the published index. Pass `value` with a number you are about to cite (or already hold) and the response tells you whether it is right: `verified` true/false, `expected` (what you submitted), `actual_value` (what FLOPS publishes) and `delta_pct`. Omit `value` to simply look up the current published value — then `verified` is null, which means 'not checked', NOT 'correct'. Note: without an API key you are checked against the public value, which is rounded to 2 decimals and delayed onto a 6-hour grid, so a full-precision real-time number will not match anonymously.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| index_id | string | yes | FLOPS index identifier (e.g. 'FLOPS-H100-OD', 'FLOPS-A100-SPOT'). |
| value | number | – | Optional. The number you want checked, e.g. 2.14. Omit it to do a plain lookup. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.

What is the FLOPS Index MCP server?
FLOPS Index is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.zeroatflops/flopsindex-mcp. GPU rental reference prices (spot, on-demand, DePIN), key-free; every value carries a verify URL. This page covers its PyPI package (flopsindex-mcp).
Is the FLOPS Index MCP server safe to use?
FLOPS Index scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. 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 FLOPS Index MCP server expose?
FLOPS Index exposes 5 tools: list_indices, verify, get_price, get_index, search_indices. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 609 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the FLOPS Index MCP server still maintained?
FLOPS Index 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.
What licence is the FLOPS Index MCP server under?
FLOPS Index declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
