⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 10 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
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 4 credentials: GOOGLE_GEMINI_API_KEY, JWT_SECRET, SKF_API_KEY, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

Tool annotations match behaviour

9 read-only tools perform write/delete/exec — bearingbrain (line 104: fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true })); recommend_buy_option (line 104: fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true })); about_bearingbrain (line 104: fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true }))

Either remove the readOnlyHint:true annotation, or remove the write/delete call from the tool handler.

Descriptions match behaviour

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — bearingbrain (line 104: fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true }))

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tool inputs are validated

Only 0/10 tool handlers declare input schemas (0%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 10 high severity in production deps — axios@1.13.6 (high), axios@1.13.6 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// 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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
