AI Research Assistant MCP (khushisonwane23/ai-research-assistant-mcp) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. M8ven has not graded it: we have no way to read this server ourselves. The publisher has proved control of what we score (Verified Publisher). It is connected through the M8ven GitHub App, so the listing is re-checked on every push.

// key findings
✅
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
🔐
You'll be asked for 1 credential: GEMINI_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
Are you the publisher? Confirm or correct these findings.
// 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.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

10/10 tools missing one or more hints — search_papers (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_paper (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); summarize_paper (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +7 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.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
