# validate_mcp_server_json

Validate an MCP server.json against the 2025-12-11 schema and the official registry publishing rules; returns findings, a registry-readiness score, and an optional compliant skeleton. Use when a developer wants to check a server.json before publishing to the MCP Registry. Renders the interactive AINumbers tool as a widget; inputs are applied via the AIN Bridge and the tool runs client-side (zero PII, zero network).

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why validate_mcp_server_json is rated Low

This tool retrieves and analyzes data (an MCP server.json configuration file) and returns validation results without modifying, executing, deleting, or committing any financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only obtain validation feedback about a server configuration, not affect external systems or data integrity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs validation and schema checking against a JSON file and official registry rules. Returns findings, a score, and optional output. The description explicitly states 'Validate', 'check', 'returns findings' - all read-only operations."

## Use case

AI agents call validate_mcp_server_json to retrieve information from Ainumbers Mcp Apps without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ainumbers Mcp Apps:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "validate_mcp_server_json": {}
  }
}

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
