get_stock_prices

Query stock price data from MongoDB for a given stock symbol. Returns daily OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. If the data is not found in MongoDB, it will automatically pull it from the Alpha Vantage API first. If a specific date is provided, returns data for that date only. Otherwise, re

get_news

Query financial news articles from MongoDB within a date range. Optionally filter by keyword in title or summary. Returns news with sentiment analysis, topics, and ticker sentiment data. Example response: {"title": "(MXI) Price Dynamics and Execution-Aware Positioning", "time_published": "20251222T0

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

2/2 tools missing one or more hints — get_stock_prices (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_news (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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.

License file

No license file

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

Tool test coverage

Only 0/2 tools referenced in tests (0%)

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

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.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.1 (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 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
