🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 1 critical, 3 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.

You'll be asked for 3 credentials: ACTIVITYPUB_DEFAULT_TOKEN, INSTANCES_SOCIAL_TOKEN, MCP_HTTP_SECRET
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

All four hints declared on every tool

37/37 tools missing one or more hints — list-accounts (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); switch-account (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); verify-account (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +34 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.

Tool inputs are validated

22/25 tool handlers declare input schemas (88%)

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

Tool handlers catch errors

23/25 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (92%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Tool test coverage

Only 7/37 tools referenced in tests (19%)

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

Shell command execution

4 child_process calls — runs shell commands

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

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.18.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.18.1 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// 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 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
