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.).
Shell command execution
19 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (src/kaidex.tsx:140, src/utils/gitUtils.ts:17, src/utils/gitUtils.ts:39)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Production dependencies are patched
2 critical, 12 high severity in production deps — shell-quote@1.8.3 (critical), simple-git@3.28.0 (critical)
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.
Dependency freshness
4/27 production deps abandoned (no release in 2+ years): command-exists@2022-06-13 (4.2y), fzf@2023-04-25 (3.3y), @iarna/toml@2023-07-15 (3.1y)
Domain consistency
npm scope @google doesn't match GitHub owner shortcut-guide
Use the same org name across GitHub, npm, and your homepage so users can verify the publisher.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
