// key findings
✅
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
✅
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

You'll be asked for 1 credential: MCP_PATH_SECRET
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

canvas_get

Return the raw text content of a canvas (or a rectangular region).

canvas_resize

Resize a canvas. Existing content is preserved where it fits.

canvas_list

canvas_delete

Delete a canvas and free its memory.

preview

Render content as a PNG image and return it for visual inspection.

save

Save content to a file on disk.

create_table

animation_render

Render an animation to a video file using ffmpeg.

speak

Synthesize speech with espeak-ng and save it as an audio file.

animation_list

List all animations in memory with frame counts.

animation_delete

Delete an animation and free its memory.

// 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

16/16 tools missing one or more hints — create_canvas (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); canvas_draw (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); canvas_get (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +13 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.

Destructive tools are labelled

1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — speak deletes at line 1572 (os.remove(tmp_wav))

Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.

Tool inputs are validated

13/16 tool handlers declare input schemas (81%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 6/16 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (38%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

// 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.
