Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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 hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 8 of 85 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability78
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 37993 tokens (~149/item across 254 items; 254 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 Management83
  • Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage77
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 19% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • Structured output schemas are declared (4% 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 254 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 254 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

How do I install the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server?

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx zscaler-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 254 exposed · ~37,993 tokens

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 →

Common questions

What is the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server?

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.zscaler/zscaler-mcp-server. Manage Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange via 400+ tools, ZPA, ZIA, ZDX, ZCC, ZTW, ZMS, EASM, and more. This page covers its PyPI package (zscaler-mcp).

Is the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server safe to use?

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 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 Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server expose?

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange exposes 254 tools: zeasm_list_findings, zeasm_get_finding_details, zeasm_get_finding_evidence, zeasm_get_finding_scan_output, zeasm_list_lookalike_domains, and 249 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 37,993 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server still maintained?

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
