live-preview-mcp

Enables AI assistants to start, manage, and embed live application previews in iframes, with support for multiple frameworks, Docker, tunnels, and authentication.

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.

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

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

10/10 tools missing one or more hints — start_preview (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); stop_preview (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_preview_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +7 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.

License file

No license file

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

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Shell command execution

4 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (src/preview-manager.ts:148, src/preview-manager.ts:208, src/tunnel.ts:21)

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

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — ws@8.18.0 (high), http-proxy-middleware@3.0.3 (medium)

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

Dependency freshness

1/11 production deps stale: tree-kill@2022-06-27 (4.1y)

// 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.
