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
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Password Strength Scorer into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Password Strength Scorer and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 1 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
