// 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.
// 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.
configYNAB_ALLOW_WRITESBy default, the server registers read-only tools only. To expose tools that create, update, import, or delete YNAB data, add =1 when you register the server:
configYNAB_DISABLE_AGENT_CONFIG_FALLBACKNo 0 Set to 1 to stop the server from reading ~/.codex/config.toml and ~/.claude/settings.json. Intended for tests and tightly controlled runtimes.
configYNAB_MCP_NO_AUTOSTART
// quality suggestions

// 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 2 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
