Tools

Open a tool for its reasons and full description. Descriptions are the publisher's own words, shown as they are.

Changes things 3Claude Code: ask
  • motion_auditRequires a Dev Key ($39/mo) or Agency plan ($249/mo) on the hosted endpoint (motionspec.dev/pricing?src=mcp).Can send data outNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    What it can reach

    • outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Requires a Dev Key ($39/mo) or Agency plan ($249/mo) on the hosted endpoint (motionspec.dev/pricing?src=mcp). This unauthenticated call returns access information only; it does not compile code, fetch URLs, run an audit or read usage data. Arguments are optional and unused. Returns isError:true with structuredContent {ok:false, error:'PAYWALL', tool, upgrade} and text guidance. To use motion_audit on the hosted endpoint, connect with an x-motionspec-key header. Run the static URL audit locally for free with 'npx -p motionspec motion audit <url> --json' (MIT).

Read local telemetry for free with 'npx -p motionspec motion stats' (MIT). This reads this machine's local activity, not hosted usage.

  • motion_catalogReturns the catalog of verified motion primitives (names, purpose, parameter schemas, defaults) plus the authoring rules for writing a MotionSpec.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns the catalog of verified motion primitives (names, purpose, parameter schemas, defaults) plus the authoring rules for writing a MotionSpec. Call this FIRST, then write the spec yourself and validate it with motion_validate (motion_compile runs in the CLI or with a key on the hosted endpoint). Free motion check: motionspec.dev/motion-check · keys for the hosted endpoint: motionspec.dev/pricing?src=mcp.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • motion_validateChecks a MotionSpec against the schema, the primitive allow-list, parameter bounds and injection rules.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "motion_validate" says "validate": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Checks a MotionSpec against the schema, the primitive allow-list, parameter bounds and injection rules. Fail-closed: returns ok=false with precise errors. Returns {ok, errors, warnings, deprecations, catalogVersion}. IMPORTANT: warnings[] carries the WCAG 2.2.2 / reduced-motion findings and can be non-empty while ok=true — a spec that compiles is not automatically accessible. Use to pre-check a spec before compiling.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write0
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out1
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Remote posture

What anyone on the internet sees at the remote endpoint: an anonymous initialize and tools/list, and the public OAuth metadata.

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 3 tools that change things (3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://api.motionspec.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including motion_compile (write), motion_audit (write), motion_stats (write)

    What this check looks for

Install

Pinned to version 1.2.10. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http motionspec https://api.motionspec.dev/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_catalog",
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_validate"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_compile",
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_audit",
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_stats"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as motionspec. Review it before you use it.
