mcp server

registry

The MCP server that vets MCP servers: identity, risk grade and per-tool risk before you install.

Description as published by the maintainer. Source

  • version 1.0.1

What this server can do

5 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

check_mcp_server(server)
Check an MCP server against the PolicyLayer registry BEFORE installing or allowing it. Accepts a registry slug, an npm package name (scoped or not), a remote server URL (https://…), or a server name. Returns the full published record: identity verification with its evidence, risk grade, auth posture, freshness, and the tool surface listed riskiest-first. A server the registry does not know is queued for scanning by this very call — check back shortly. Required: server.
check_mcp_stack(servers)
Check a whole MCP stack against the PolicyLayer registry in one call — up to 25 servers, each given as candidate identifiers (npm package name, registry slug, or remote URL) tried in order until one resolves. Returns the published record for every hit — plus a deterministic verdict (attention signals and a suggested action) — and the lookup status for every miss; counts, grades and flagged tools come from the published records only. Costs one rate-limit unit per server. Required: servers.
check_tool(tool, server)
One tool's full risk classification on a published MCP server: category, severity, risk analysis and evidence, OWASP classes, parameter schema and the recommended policy default. Use when deciding whether to allow a specific tool call, e.g. "should execute_sql on this server be permitted?" Required: server, tool.
get_change_events(limit, after_id, severity)
The registry change feed: tool-surface drift, auth-posture flips, impostor flags, version bumps — every event the freshness watchers emit, id-cursored so a consumer resumes exactly where it stopped. Requires a Registry Licence key (Authorization: Bearer plr_...); self-serve at https://policylayer.com/registry/pricing.
search_registry(limit, query)
Search the PolicyLayer registry of published MCP servers by name, slug or package substring. Returns candidate matches with risk grade, identity confidence (verified / unverified / mismatch — mismatch means it claims to be an official server with no verifiable link to the brand) and tool count — follow up with check_mcp_server on the match you meant. Required: query.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Signal Value What it measures Window Observed Source
GitHub stars 1 Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. cumulative, all time GitHub

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as registry, security. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
