// key findings
✅
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: GITHUB_TOKEN
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.
configCACHE_TTL3600 Default cache TTL in seconds for get_readme_from_npm and get_package_info_from_npm. Search results have a fixed 10-minute TTL.
🔐 secretGITHUB_TOKENGitHub personal access token. Raises the GitHub API rate limit from 60/hour to 5000/hour.
configLOG_LEVELINFO One of ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG (case-insensitive). Invalid values silently fall back to INFO. Logs are written to stderr.
configREQUEST_TIMEOUT30000 Per-request timeout in milliseconds, applied to npm registry and GitHub API calls.
// quality suggestions

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

3/3 tools missing one or more hints — get_readme_from_npm (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_package_info_from_npm (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_packages_from_npm (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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 test coverage

Only 0/3 tools referenced in tests (0%)

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

Shell command execution

2 child_process calls — runs shell commands

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

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// 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 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
