Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 62 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name unkey-mcp.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 19 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 62 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 62 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    55 of 55 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-10T23:33:37.394899Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 19

unkey_create_api

Create a new API namespace to issue keys under. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.createApi.

Discovered
unkey_create_identity

Create an identity — an end user or organisation that keys and shared rate limits attach to. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.createIdentity.

Discovered
unkey_create_key

Issue a new API key under an API. The plaintext key is returned ONCE in the response and cannot be retrieved later unless recoverable is set. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.createKey.

Discovered
unkey_delete_key

Revoke a key. By default this is a soft delete the key stops working but stays queryable; pass permanent to erase it. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.deleteKey.

Discovered
unkey_get_api

Fetch an API namespace by id. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.getApi.

Discovered
unkey_get_identity

Fetch a single identity with its metadata and shared rate limits. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.getIdentity.

Discovered
unkey_get_key

Fetch a key's metadata by its key id — name, owner, permissions, credits, rate limits and whether it is enabled. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.getKey.

Discovered
unkey_get_ratelimit_override

Fetch the override for one identifier in a namespace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.getOverride.

Discovered
unkey_list_api_keys

List every key issued under one API, optionally narrowed to a single customer by externalId. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.listKeys.

Discovered
unkey_list_identities

List identities — the end users or organisations your keys belong to. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.listIdentities.

Discovered
unkey_list_permissions

List the permissions defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listPermissions.

Discovered
unkey_list_ratelimit_overrides

List the per-identifier overrides in one rate-limit namespace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.listOverrides.

Discovered
unkey_list_roles

List the roles defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listRoles.

Discovered
unkey_liveness

Check that the Unkey API is reachable and the root key works. The only GET in the v2 surface. Unkey: GET /v2/liveness.

Discovered
unkey_query_verification_analytics

Run a read-only SQL query over key-verification analytics. The query must use one of the public aliases: key_verifications_v1, key_verifications_per_minute_v1, key_verifications_per_hour_v1, key_verifications_per_day_v1 or key_verifications_per_month_v1. Physical default.* table names are rejected, and results are scoped to your workspace. Unkey: POST /v2/analytics.getVerifications.

Discovered
unkey_set_ratelimit_override

Set a custom rate limit for one identifier in a namespace — how you raise or lower a single customer's limit. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.setOverride.

Discovered
unkey_update_key

Change a key's name, owner, metadata, expiry, roles, permissions or enabled state. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.updateKey.

Discovered
unkey_update_key_credits

Set, increment or decrement a key's remaining credits. Use set with no value for unlimited. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.updateCredits.

Discovered
unkey_whoami_key

Given a plaintext API key, return which key it is and its metadata — without spending credits or recording a verification. This is the safe way to identify a key a customer sent you. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.whoami.
