What you can do

What your AI can do with Proving Lab

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

Use “list_measurements”: Use when a claim about browser tools, capture quality, OCR recall or citation extraction needs a number behind it — or when you want to chec.

Use “get_method”: Fetch a reproducible method: reading a browser extension's permissions, measuring OCR recall with a control run, or choosing between print-t.

Security check

How secure is the Proving Lab MCP server?

Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Proving Lab holds up.

Verified directory serverProving Lab · provinglab.dev

Official endpoint

Operated by Proving Lab (provinglab.dev) 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 Proving Lab adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there an official Proving Lab MCP server?

Yes — Proving Lab operates its own remote MCP server at provinglab.dev. 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 Proving Lab to Claude or ChatGPT?

Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Proving Lab in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Proving Lab's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.

Do I need to host anything?

No. Proving Lab runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.

Is the Proving Lab MCP server safe to connect?

It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.

Is it free?

Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Proving Lab in minutes. No credit card required.
