How secure is the ReadingRate MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how ReadingRate holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by ReadingRate (readingrate.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 ReadingRate adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

https://mcp.readingrate.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official ReadingRate MCP server?
Yes — ReadingRate operates its own remote MCP server at mcp.readingrate.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.

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