Lutris MCP Server

Enables AI assistants to browse, search, and manage a Lutris Linux gaming library. It provides tools for modifying game details, organizing categories, and accessing collection statistics directly from the Lutris SQLite database.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
⚠️
Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do
2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — check_game_running (line 48: execSync(`pgrep -af "${pattern}"`, {); list_runners (line 19: execSync('pgrep -af "lutris"', {)
⚠️
Tests do not pass
Either the test suite is broken or the code regressed. Either way the published behaviour can’t be verified by the publisher’s own tests.
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.

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

25/25 tools missing one or more hints — bulk_assign_category (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); bulk_update_games (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_categories (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +22 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.

Descriptions match behaviour

2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — check_game_running (line 48: execSync(`pgrep -af "${pattern}"`, {); list_runners (line 19: execSync('pgrep -af "lutris"', {)

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

Tool inputs are validated

22/25 tool handlers declare input schemas (88%)

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

Tests pass

npm test failed — tests do not pass

Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.

Shell command execution

1 child_process call — runs shell commands

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

Tool description accuracy

check_game_running: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; list_runners: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.

// 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 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
