Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
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
98/98 tools missing one or more hints — get_athletics_all (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_sports (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_sport_by_gender (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +95 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.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.1 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
