What is the Password Strength Scorer MCP Server?
Ask an AI if 'P@ssw0rd123' is a strong password. It will say 'yes — it has uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.' That's wrong. zxcvbn cracks it in under a second because it recognizes the pattern: 'Password' + common l33t substitutions + sequential numbers.
No AI can truly evaluate password strength. This MCP uses the Dropbox zxcvbn engine — the same algorithm trusted by 700M+ users — which performs real combinatorial analysis against dictionaries, keyboard patterns, dates, and l33t-speak.
The Superpowers
- Real Science, Not Rules: Doesn't check 'has uppercase + number'. Analyzes actual crack difficulty using pattern matching and combinatorics.
- 4 Attack Scenarios: Crack time estimates for online throttled, online unthrottled, local slow hash, and local fast hash.
- Actionable Feedback: Returns specific warnings ('Common l33t substitution') and improvement suggestions.
- 100% Local: The password never leaves the engine. Zero network calls. Zero data leakage.
Built-in capabilities (1)
The zxcvbn engine (created by Dropbox) detects common patterns, dictionary words, keyboard sequences (qwerty, zxcvbn), dates, and l33t-speak substitutions. It returns a score from 0 (very weak) to 4 (very strong), estimated crack times for different attack scenarios, and actionable feedback. No AI can truly evaluate password strength — this engine uses real combinatorial analysis. Evaluates password strength using the Dropbox zxcvbn engine. Returns a 0-4 score, crack time estimates, and improvement suggestions

Frequently asked questions
Why can't my AI evaluate password strength?
AI checks superficial rules like 'has uppercase + number + symbol'. zxcvbn does combinatorial analysis — it knows 'P@ssw0rd' is just 'Password' with l33t substitutions, and rates it as weak despite passing every 'rule-based' check.
Is the password sent to any external server?
No. 100% local. The embedded dictionary and pattern matching engine run entirely in-process. Zero network calls, zero data leakage, zero risk.
What do the crack time numbers actually mean?
Four real attack scenarios: Online throttled (100/hour — most login pages), Online unthrottled (10/sec), Local slow hash (10K/sec — bcrypt), Local fast hash (10B/sec — MD5/SHA). Choose the scenario matching your system.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
