What your AI can do with Show & Tell
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

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