Remote MCP server for authoritative plant information from the VicFlora API. Enables searching plants, fetching profiles, finding occurrences near a point, and looking up botanical terms.
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.

17 dependencies, 1 flagged: @playwright/test
All four hints declared on every tool
4/4 tools missing one or more hints — search_plants (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint); get_plant_profile (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint); find_plants_near_point (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint), +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.
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.
Shell command execution
1 child_process/subprocess call in production code — runs shell commands (harness/dev.ts:10)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Dev dependencies
2 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
