Enables AI agents to securely control a user's existing signed-in Chrome browser through isolated tab groups, with strict per-session ownership and no cookie or token exposure.

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
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
🔐
You'll be asked for 1 credential: UMBRA_SHARED_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.

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

47/47 tools missing one or more hints — browser_navigate (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); browser_navigate_back (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); browser_navigate_forward (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +44 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.

README present

No README found

Add a README.md describing the server and its tools.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Secrets not written to files

1 secret value written to files

Avoid persisting secrets to disk. Keep them in memory or your secret manager.

Secrets not logged

1 secret value sent to console.log

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

Domain consistency

npm scope @umbra-mcp doesn't match GitHub owner robertjlora

Use the same org name across GitHub, npm, and your homepage so users can verify the publisher.

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// 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 8 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
