Install from
M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
fast-xml-parser has an entity encoding bypass via regex injection in DOCTYPE entity names
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
fast-xml-parser has RangeError DoS Numeric Entities Bug

Unset means no authentication.MCP_TRANSPORTno http http or stdio. --stdio on the command line does the same.All four hints declared on every tool
1/1 tools missing one or more hints — bamboohr_server_info (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint). OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tool inputs are validated
Only 0/1 tool handlers declare input schemas (0%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 0/1 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tests pass
npm test failed — tests do not pass
Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.
Secrets not logged
1 secret value sent to console.log
Redact or omit secret values from log output.
Production dependencies are patched
1 critical, 6 high severity in production deps — fast-xml-parser@5.2.2 (critical), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.11.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
