Forage-mcp

MCP server giving AI agents real-time web search, page scraping, company intelligence, email discovery, local lead generation, and a persistent knowledge graph. Pay only for what you use, no subscriptions.

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.

Secret credentials may flow to a network call
32 flows detected: JINA_AI_KEY, GRAPH_API_URL, APIFY_TOKEN. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 13 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
🔐
You'll be asked for 10 credentials: APIFY_API_TOKEN, APIFY_TOKEN, FORAGE_TOKEN, GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY, GRAPH_API_SECRET, INTERCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN, INTERCOM_WEBHOOK_SECRET, JINA_AI_KEY, KASPR_API_KEY, SERPAPI_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

Dependencies

16 dependencies, 1 flagged: puppeteer-core

Tool annotations

52/62 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

62/62 tools missing one or more hints — search_web (missing: idempotentHint, openWorldHint); scrape_page (missing: idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_company_info (missing: idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +59 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.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Secrets stay with their owner

17 secret/sensitive values flow into network calls (GRAPH_API_URL → dynamic, GRAPH_API_URL → dynamic) (15 other flows matched canonical API hosts)

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

Secrets not logged

13 secret values sent to console.log

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 13 high severity in production deps — axios@1.6.0 (high), axios@1.6.0 (high)

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

Dependency freshness

1/10 production deps stale: node-fetch@2023-11-30 (2.7y)

Domain consistency

npm scope @modelcontextprotocol doesn't match GitHub owner ernestalabs

Use the same org name across GitHub, npm, and your homepage so users can verify the publisher.

// 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.
