Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Kadent Scan every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

scan
scan_mcp_server
Runs a free, read-only security scan of a remote MCP server before you connect it. Performs an ordinary MCP handshake (never anything more invasive), lists the server's tools, rates each one's capabilities (private-data access, untrusted content, network egress, destructive actions), flags prompt-injection patterns in tool descriptions, and reports whether the lethal trifecta is reachable. Scan only servers you run or are entitled to connect to.

Kadent Scan — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Kadent Scan do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: scan_mcp_server. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Kadent Scan working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 80 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Kadent Scan?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Kadent Scan need an API key?
No. Kadent Scan completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Kadent Scan?
It answers our handshake in 80 ms on average, which is faster than 88% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
