MindOS

Local-first knowledge base MCP server. Lets AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) read and write your personal knowledge base through 20 MCP tools. Zero cloud dependency — all files stay on your machine.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 2 critical
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
🔐
You'll be asked for 4 credentials: AUTH_TOKEN, MINDOS_AUTH_TOKEN, MINDOS_SYNC_TOKEN, OPENAI_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// known CVEs in dependencies2 critical

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

Tool annotations

12/27 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

27/27 tools missing one or more hints — mindos_list_files (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); mindos_list_spaces (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); mindos_read_file (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +24 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 2/27 tools referenced in tests (7%)

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

Secrets never reach shell commands

1 secret value passed to a subprocess as an argument — no shell is invoked, so there is nothing to inject into

Never pass secrets through shell commands. Use library APIs that accept credentials as arguments.

Dev dependencies

2 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.
