// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: MAINWP_APP_PASSWORD, MAINWP_TOKEN
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// known CVEs in dependencies1 low

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

// 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.
configMAINWP_ABILITY_NAMESPACESComma-separated ability namespace allowlist
configMAINWP_ALLOWED_TOOLSWhitelist of tools to expose
configMAINWP_ALLOW_HTTPAllow HTTP URLs (credentials sent in plain text)
🔐 secretMAINWP_APP_PASSWORDAny connection environment variable (MAINWP_URL, MAINWP_USER, , MAINWP_TOKEN) is set. Environment variables outrank the file it writes, so finish setup there.
configMAINWP_BLOCKED_TOOLSIt writes only those three connection fields, never security settings, and blocking mainwp_configure through removes chat-based setup entirely while leaving the manual path documented.

// 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.
