// key findings
🚨
Secret credentials may flow to a network call
1 flow detected: EVM_PRIVATE_KEY. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 10 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: EVM_PRIVATE_KEY, SHOWCASE_AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

host402_deploy_website

Deploys a static website, landing page, or web application to the web with an instant public URL. Uses x402 protocol ($0.02 USDC on Base).

host402_deploy_monetized_api

Hosts and wraps an agent API with an x402 paywall. Caller agents pay USDC per call, and 95% is forwarded directly to your wallet.

host402_get_site_info

Inspect the status, live URL, and expiration date of a deployed website.

host402_list_bazaar_services

Search discoverable x402 APIs and tools registered on the Host402 network.

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

4/4 tools missing one or more hints — host402_deploy_website (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); host402_deploy_monetized_api (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); host402_get_site_info (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +1 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 0/4 tools referenced in tests (0%)

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

Secrets stay with their owner

1 secret sent to a request target we could not resolve (EVM_PRIVATE_KEY → dynamic) — often a configured endpoint, not necessarily third-party

Audit where credentials are sent. A NOTION_TOKEN should only reach api.notion.com — never a third-party host.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 10 high severity in production deps — multer@1.4.5-lts.2 (high), multer@1.4.5-lts.2 (high)

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

// 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.
