74/100

flexlm-mcp

MCP server + CLI that reads FlexLM/FlexNet lmstat and finds wasted seats: long linger, duplicate checkouts, idle bundles. Read-only.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

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.

flexlm_status

Check whether the FlexLM server is up and summarize it: daemons, features, seats issued vs in use, saturated features and bundle occupancy. Start here before any other tool.

flexlm_list_features

List licensed features with issued/in-use/free counts and utilization, optionally filtered by name substring (use a bundle code like 'NX93100' to see one bundle), by in-use only, or by minimum utilization. Sorted by utilization descending.

flexlm_feature_checkouts

List every seat of one feature currently checked out: user, host, start time, linger total and remaining (days), and how long the seat has been held. Use it to see who is occupying a saturated feature and whether linger is keeping seats reserved after people closed the application.

flexlm_user_sessions

List every feature a given user currently holds, across the whole server, with host and linger. Useful to answer 'why does this person hold two seats' or 'what will be freed if this session ends'.

flexlm_find_waste

Analyze the server for capacity you already paid for and cannot use: saturated features, linger measured in days (a floating pool behaving like named licenses), the same user holding duplicate seats (often one machine under two hostname spellings), and idle bundles next to saturated ones. Each findi

flexlm_parse_lmstat

Parse the raw text of an `lmstat -a` someone pasted or emailed — no server access needed — and return the same summary and waste findings the live tools produce. Use this when you have the text but not the network path to the server.

// 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.
configLMUTIL_PATHFull path to lmutil. If unset, lmutil on PATH, then the usual Siemens folder.
configUGII_BASE_DIR
configFLEXLM_DEFAULT_SERVERDefault port@host when a tool call does not pass one.
configFLEXLM_TIMEOUT_SSeconds to wait for lmstat (default 60).

Tool annotations

1/6 tools have annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

6/6 tools missing one or more hints — flexlm_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); flexlm_list_features (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); flexlm_feature_checkouts (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +3 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 test coverage

Only 1/6 tools referenced in tests (17%)

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

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// 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 3 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
