MCP News Server
Enables AI coding assistants to publish news articles to a website database, REST API, or local JSON file.
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.
publish_articlePublishes a news article directly to the website. Automatically routes to database, API, or local JSON based on environment configuration.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

express vulnerable to XSS via response.redirect()
MySQL2: Unbounded zlib inflate in compressed MySQL protocol handler allows decompression-bomb DoS
API_BEARER_TOKENTo push via REST API, specify the API_ENDPOINT and .API_ENDPOINTTo push via REST API, specify the and API_BEARER_TOKEN.DB_HOSTDB_NAMEDB_PASSWORDDB_USERPORTTool 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
1/1 tools missing one or more hints — publish_article (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Secrets stay with their owner
1 secret sent to a request target we could not resolve (API_BEARER_TOKEN → dynamic) — often a configured endpoint, not necessarily third-party
Audit where credentials are sent. A NOTION_TOKEN should only reach api.notion.com — never a third-party host.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.1 (high), mysql2@3.9.7 (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.
