Grimmory MCP Server

Enables AI assistants to manage a Grimmory book library through 53 specialized tools for books, authors, shelves, reading progress, metadata, and more.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
⚠️
Tests do not pass
Either the test suite is broken or the code regressed. Either way the published behaviour can’t be verified by the publisher’s own tests.
52 tools verified — handlers match their declared behaviour
4 read-only tools verified — handlers contain no write/delete/exec
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
🔐
You'll be asked for 1 credential: GRIMMORY_PASSWORD
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

4/52 tools have annotations

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

All four hints declared on every tool

48/52 tools missing one or more hints — grimmory_list_authors (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); grimmory_get_author (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); grimmory_find_author_by_name (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +45 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.

openWorldHint matches behaviour

4 tools claim openWorldHint=false but make outbound HTTP — grimmory_list_libraries → libraries (line 47); grimmory_get_library → dynamic (line 81); grimmory_list_shelves → shelves (line 55)

Either flip openWorldHint to true (acknowledging external reach) or refactor the handler to avoid outbound HTTP. If the only network calls are to a known fixed endpoint that you consider part of the tool itself, document that and keep openWorldHint=false; otherwise true is honest.

Tool inputs are validated

Only 0/52 tool handlers declare input schemas (0%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 0/52 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.

// 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 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
