// key findings
🚨
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 1 credential: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// known CVEs in dependencies1 critical3 high

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

criticalvitest@2.1.9GHSA-5xrq-8626-4rwp

When Vitest UI server is listening, arbitrary file can be read and executed

high@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.20.0GHSA-345p-7cg4-v4c7

@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse

Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability

// required environment variables
This server reads these from process.env. You'll be asked to provide them before it can run.
🔐 secretANTHROPIC_API_KEY— your Anthropic key. Read only when SURF_LLM_HEAL=true. The runtime self-healing in SURF_SELF_HEALING is deterministic and never reads this variable.
configCHROME_PATH— /path/to/chrome SURF_TZ=America/New_York npm run bootstrap
configGITHUB_OUTPUT
configSURF_ALLOW_PRIVATE— false set true to allow extract to fetch private/loopback addresses (localhost, 127.0.0.1, 10.x, 192.168.x, 169.254.x, etc). Default blocks them as an SSRF guard.
configSURF_CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS
configSURF_EXTRACT_OCR— false OCR scanned/image PDFs via Tesseract (slower; off by default)
configSURF_HEADLESS— Demo only. Actual searches run headless by default (no visible browser). Set =false to make Chrome visible like in the clip above.
configSURF_IDLE_CLOSE_MS— 30000 idle ms before closing the sequential ctx and pool. 0 disables idle auto-close. Lower = faster cleanup, higher = warmer cache for spaced-out calls.
configSURF_LLM_HEAL— ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — your Anthropic key. Read only when =true. The runtime self-healing in SURF_SELF_HEALING is deterministic and never reads this variable.
configSURF_LOCALE— en-US browser locale
configSURF_PROFILE_ROOT— ~/.google-surf-mcp where the warm profile lives
configSURF_TZ— CHROME_PATH=/path/to/chrome =America/New_York npm run bootstrap
