mcp-openapi-proxy

A Python-based MCP server that integrates OpenAPI-described REST APIs into MCP workflows, enabling dynamic exposure of API endpoints as MCP tools.

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.

// key findings
🚨
Secret credentials may flow to a network call
1 flow detected: README_API_KEY. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: API_KEY, README_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.
configOPENAPI_SPEC_URL"": "${OPENAPI_SPEC_URL}",
configTOOL_WHITELISTnever matched Slack-style dot paths like /users.list (#27) — fixed.
🔐 secretAPI_KEYHeader Authentication: Uses Bearer by default for in the Authorization header, customizable for APIs like Fly.io requiring Api-Key.
configSTRIP_PARAM(Optional) JMESPath expression to strip unwanted parameters (e.g. token for Slack).
configIGNORE_SSL_TOOLSwas ignored by the low-level dispatcher (#14) — fixed (original patch by [@robbycochran](https://github.com/robbycochran), #15).
configCAPABILITIES_TOOLS/ CAPABILITIES_PROMPTS / CAPABILITIES_RESOURCES: (Optional) Advertise listChanged on the corresponding capability (for clients that key on it). Default false.
configCAPABILITIES_RESOURCESCAPABILITIES_TOOLS / CAPABILITIES_PROMPTS / : (Optional) Advertise listChanged on the corresponding capability (for clients that key on it). Default false.
configCAPABILITIES_PROMPTSCAPABILITIES_TOOLS / / CAPABILITIES_RESOURCES: (Optional) Advertise listChanged on the corresponding capability (for clients that key on it). Default false.
configENABLE_TOOLS
configENABLE_RESOURCES
configENABLE_PROMPTS
configADDITIONAL_RESOURCES(Optional) Comma-separated name=/path/to/file entries served as extra MCP resources (use-case docs such as naming policies or layout conventions; see examples/resources/).
configOPENAPI_SIMPLE_MODEEnabled by: Setting the environment variable =true.
configIGNORE_SSL_SPEC(Optional) Set to true to disable SSL certificate verification when fetching the OpenAPI spec.
configSERVER_URL_OVERRIDE(Optional) Overrides the base URL from the OpenAPI specification when set, useful for custom deployments.
configAPI_AUTH_TYPEcustom schemes (e.g. NetBox Token) sent no auth header at all (#24) — fixed.
configAPI_AUTH_HEADER(Optional) Header name used when API_AUTH_TYPE=api-key (e.g. x-apikey for VirusTotal, xi-api-key for ElevenLabs). Defaults to Authorization.
configTOOL_NAME_MAX_LENGTHwas not respected, and name-truncation collisions silently dropped tools (#11) — fixed.
configTOOL_NAME_PREFIX(Optional) A prefix to prepend to all tool names.
configXDG_CACHE_HOME
configOPENAPI_SPEC_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS(Optional) Live-first disk cache for remote specs: the cached copy is served only when the live fetch fails or stalls (and respawned servers fail fast to it). Default 86400; set 0 to disable.
configOPENAPI_SPEC_FORMAT(Optional) Set to yaml to parse file:// specs as YAML (remote specs auto-detect). Default json.
configEXTRA_HEADERSnow accepts a JSON array and literal \n separators, not just real newlines (#17).

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

3/3 tools missing one or more hints — list_functions (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); call_function (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); dynamic_tool_298 (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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

2/3 tools referenced in tests (67%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Secrets not logged

9 secret values sent to console.log

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

// 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 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
