Scaffold projects from Starter Series templates — MCP server + Claude Code skill
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
list_templatesList all available Starter Series project templates
create_projectScaffold a new project from a Starter Series template
audit_releaseAudit a local repo for release-readiness against the Starter Series quality bar. Detects matched starter, CHANGELOG drift vs merged PRs, version-bump status, and publish-workflow presence. Read-only; never mutates the repo.
audit_cdCheck whether the local repo's version has been published to its destination registries (npm, PyPI, Open VSX, VS Marketplace, AMO, GitHub Releases). Makes outbound HTTPS requests to public registry APIs; never mutates. Reports per-destination drift (in-sync / needs-publish / local-stale / not-found)…
audit_securityAudit a local repo for baseline security CI hygiene against the Starter Series quality bar: gitleaks, CodeQL, dependency audit, license check, --ignore-scripts, Dependabot, secret-scanning hints, claude-code-security-review Action, and claude-security-guidance.md. Read-only.
audit_instructionsAudit local agent instruction files for exact same-file duplicates, cross-file surface overlap, and advisory keyword risk summaries. Read-only; does not rewrite files and is not semantic drift or safety enforcement.
generate_launch_proof_reportRun audit_release, audit_cd, audit_security, and audit_instructions together, then return a client-ready Markdown Launch Proof Report. Read-only by default; set write=true to write launch-proof-report.md or output_path inside the target repo.
add_componentLift a starter's CI/CD layer into an EXISTING repo without re-scaffolding — the remediation half of the audit loop (audit_security/audit_release diagnose; this installs the missing files from the matching starter). Components: ci (.github/workflows/ci.yml), security (codeql.yml + SECURITY.md), depen…
seed_security_guidanceGenerate a starter `claude-security-guidance.md` at the repo root, tailored to the detected Starter Series template. The file is consumed in-session by Anthropic's Claude Code Security Guidance Plugin (released 2026-05-26) as a guard while Claude writes code. Use `force: true` to overwrite an existi…
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
node-tar: Decompression/parse DoS via unlimited input
node-tar: Negative tar entry size causes infinite loop in archive replace
node-tar: Uncontrolled recursion in mapHas/filesFilter allows uncatchable stack-overflow DoS via crafted long-path tar with member selection
node-tar: Uncaught Exception DoS via NUL byte in PAX path/linkpath records
node-tar: Process crash via PAX numeric path type confusion
CREATE_STARTER_DEBUG1 Emit verbose stderr logsTool 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
9/9 tools missing one or more hints — list_templates (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); create_project (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); audit_release (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +6 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.
Tool inputs are validated
8/9 tool handlers declare input schemas (89%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Shell command execution
1 call in production code run through a shell (src/scaffold.ts:231)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Production dependencies are patched
1 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — tar@7.5.16 (critical), tar@7.5.16 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

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.
