Tracking evidence observed Oct 5, 2026. These dated signals do not establish current maintenance. Reviewed enrichment confidence: medium.
Verification gaps / watch-outs
- Installation and comprehensive security have not been independently audited.
- Inherited from connected tool providers. Writes: Depends on provider tools.
- Provider-specific.
- Sensitive access: Provider credentials/data
- UTCP preserves native transports, so every provider needs its own authentication and permission review.

All limitations / Review context
How does the current Python package map UTCP and MCP tools?
The bounded assessment reviewed the official README, repository notices, security policy path, and security page for known material public-tracking blockers. No such blocker was identified. This is a public-tracking assessment, not an installation safety certification.
- UTCP preserves native transports, so every provider needs its own authentication and permission review.
- Inherited from connected tool providers.
- Provider-specific.
- Requests/results flow directly to provider-native transports.
- Reviewed write actions: Depends on provider tools
- Sensitive access: Provider credentials/data
- Installation, client compatibility and comprehensive security have not been independently audited. Authentication and access depend on the configured services.
- A project-specific SECURITY.md policy was not available at the fetched official path; the review remains limited to published repository notices.
- No installation, runtime, client matrix, or complete tool-contract audit was performed in this review.
- The fetched official SECURITY.md path returned HTTP 404; it was not treated as positive evidence.
- Exact canonical package/install command
- This is an SDK/protocol implementation, not a single MCP server.
- Effective auth/risk is inherited from the native provider transport.

Install / connect

pip install utcp utcp-httpConfigure / authenticate
MCP100 setup guidePython UTCP client SDK and protocol plugins. Install only the plugins your application uses. `utcp-mcp` is an optional adapter, not the whole SDK as a standalone MCP server.
Check connection
Suggested checkVerify imports in project virtualenv and application tool-call sample.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guideUninstall the selected UTCP Python packages in their environment using `python -m pip uninstall utcp utcp-http utcp-cli utcp-mcp utcp-text` only for those actually installed; remove SDK import/config code. If you launched its optional MCP adapter, unregister that adapter in the client.
Client unregistration, program uninstall, persistent-data deletion, and credential revocation must be treated separately.
