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

// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.
configALLOWED_ORIGINSBrowser-origin requests are checked against . If unset, the server allows the local defaults for localhost and 127.0.0.1 on the configured port, plus non-browser requests with no Origin header.
configCHAT_ALLOWED_ORIGINS
configFDIC_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTESSet to override the upstream FDIC response-size guard. The default is 5242880 bytes (5 MiB).
configFDIC_MCP_PROFILE

configHOSTLocal HTTP runs bind to 127.0.0.1 by default. Set if you intentionally want a different bind address.

Tool annotations

25/29 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

4/29 tools missing one or more hints — search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fetch (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fdic_search (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.

Secrets stay with their owner

1 secret sent to a request target we could not resolve (FRED_API_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 — axios@1.13.6 (high), axios@1.13.6 (high)

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

Dev dependencies

1 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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
