What the UK Data: Software end-of-life dates MCP server can do

The UK Data: Software end-of-life dates MCP server is published by reliness.co.uk, a domain the MCP Registry verified. It has 6 tools. It can create or change data (2 tools: eol_latest_release and eol_unsupported_releases), but cannot delete data. 4 tools only read.

1 tool reads private data (eol_products_by_category); 6 tools bring in text other people can write (eol_latest_release, eol_unsupported_releases, eol_products_by_category and 3 more).

None of the fixed checks matched anything in its tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

Its remote endpoint lists its tools without sign-in.

Last scanned Nov 7, 2026, version 1.5.0.

Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • eol_latest_releaseWhat is the latest version of a product right now?Reads text others writeNo 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

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    What is the latest version of a product right now? Returns the newest release cycle, its latest patch version and date, release date, support status and end-of-life date. Live data avoids out-of-date answers about "the latest Python/Node/PostgreSQL". Source: endoflife.date (community-maintained, typically refreshed daily); preview or beta releases are not included.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Which versions of a product are already end of life? Lists the release cycles past their end-of-life date, newest first, with the end-of-life date, the last patch version and whether extended (often paid) support is still available. Useful for security audits and spotting outdated versions in an estate. Source: endoflife.date (community-maintained); it reports published dates, not whether a given install is patched.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the products endoflife.date tracks in one category: operating systems, databases, programming languages, frameworks, server applications, cloud services, applications, devices or standards. Returns each product slug, name, aliases and tags so you can then look up release dates. Source: endoflife.date; coverage is about 490 products and is not a full software inventory. (cost: 1 credit)

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 outbound.

Reads private data1
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write6
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
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

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/software-lifecycle: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including eol_latest_release (write), eol_unsupported_releases (write)

    What this check looks for

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

History

Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.

No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.

Claude Code permissions

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

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 software-lifecycle. Review it before you use it.
