jlink-mcp (Klievan/jlink-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 confirmed an email address for this listing, which proves an inbox rather than ownership (Claimed).
Give AI hands to touch silicon — an MCP server for SEGGER J-Link, OpenOCD and Black Magic probes. Flash, halt, step, stream RTT logs and decode ARM Cortex-M faults. Verified against real hardware.
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.

Connect your repo and M8ven re-verifies it on the push itself. Without it we re-check verified listings about once a day, so a fix can sit unseen. Read-only, one click, revoke anytime. What we access →
Install from
M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
esbuild allows arbitrary file read when running the development server on Windows
JLINK_MCP_GDB_ROUTINGTool 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
47/47 tools missing one or more hints — list_devices (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_setup (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); set_svd_path (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +44 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.
Shell command execution
1 call in production code run through a shell (src/utils/gdb-server-probe.ts:29)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
