// key findings

🚨

Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 1 critical, 2 high

Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.

// tools this server exposes7 tools

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

upload-file

Upload a local file to the remote SSH server using SFTP.

upload-content

Upload direct text or base64 content to the remote SSH server using SFTP.

terminal-start

Start an interactive terminal session on the remote SSH server. Reuses a managed session by default unless multiSession is true.

terminal-write

Write input into an existing interactive terminal session. Use this for ordinary commands and sudo-interactive flows instead of exec tools.

terminal-read

Read buffered output from an interactive terminal session.

terminal-resize

Resize an existing interactive terminal session.

terminal-close

Close an interactive terminal session locally. The remote marker file is left for the server-side watcher to clean up if it is still present.

// known CVEs in dependencies1 critical2 high

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

When Vitest UI server is listening, arbitrary file can be read and executed

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.

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

7/7 tools missing one or more hints — upload-file (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); upload-content (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); terminal-start (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +4 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.

Tool test coverage

Only 0/7 tools referenced in tests (0%)

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

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.5 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.5 (high)

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

Dev dependencies

1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// 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.
