Secret credentials may flow to a network call
1 flow detected: openai_api_token. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.

You'll be asked for 19 credentials: pubmed_api_token, OPENAI_API_KEY, bedrock_api_token, tavily_api_token, anthropic_api_token, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, PUBMED_API_KEY, TAVILY_API_KEY, GMAPS_API_KEY, gmaps_api_token, PERPLEXITY_API_KEY, openperplex_api_token, langsmith_api_token, SERPER_API_KEY, serp_api_token, google_api_key, SERPAPI_API_KEY, openai_api_token, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

18/18 tools missing one or more hints — search_pubmed (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_paper_fulltext (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); add (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +15 more. 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.

README present

No README found

Add a README.md describing the server and its tools.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tool test coverage

Only 0/18 tools referenced in tests (0%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

No access to sensitive paths

Reads sensitive paths: ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.aws/credentials

Remove reads of sensitive system paths. If you genuinely need them, document why in the README.

Shell command execution

6 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (backend/mcp/mcp_client.py:103, backend/tools.py:120, backend/tools.py:170)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

Secrets not written to files

4 secret values written to files

Avoid persisting secrets to disk. Keep them in memory or your secret manager.

Secrets not logged

6 secret values sent to console.log

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 9 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
