How secure is the Dim Hour MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Dim Hour holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Dim Hour (dimhour.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Dim Hour adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.

Choose Dim Hour in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.

https://mcp.dimhour.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Dim Hour MCP server?
Yes — Dim Hour operates its own remote MCP server at mcp.dimhour.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Dim Hour to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Dim Hour in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Dim Hour's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Dim Hour runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Dim Hour MCP server safe to connect?
