// 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.
// 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.
configPROOFCUT_WHISPERAny openai-whisper install. uv tool install openai-whisper is the short route; add --torch-backend cpu without an NVIDIA GPU (1.9 GB instead of 5.5 GB). Found via PROOFCUT_WHISPER, then PATH. The CPU build transcribed the demo's 19-second voiceover in 33 seconds.
configPROOFCUT_AUTO_EDITOR
configPROOFCUT_VLMThe python of a venv with torch, transformers, bitsandbytes and Pillow, on a CUDA GPU. The Qwen2.5-VL model downloads on first use.
configPROOFCUT_MELTYour distribution's MLT package (mlt on Fedora, whose melt package is an unrelated compression tool), or Kdenlive, whose flatpak copy is found automatically. PROOFCUT_MELT overrides both.
configPROOFCUT_MAGICK
configPROOFCUT_FACEThe python of a venv with insightface, onnxruntime and opencv-python.
configPROOFCUT_TTSA python with qwen-tts and a CUDA torch, a local Qwen3-TTS snapshot, and a directory holding a reference clip of the voice. There is no default voice, on purpose.
configPROOFCUT_TTS_MODELA python with qwen-tts and a CUDA torch, a local Qwen3-TTS snapshot, and a directory holding a reference clip of the voice. There is no default voice, on purpose.
configPROOFCUT_TTS_VOICEA python with qwen-tts and a CUDA torch, a local Qwen3-TTS snapshot, and a directory holding a reference clip of the voice. There is no default voice, on purpose.

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

91/91 tools missing one or more hints — doctor (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); init (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); migrate_project (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +88 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.

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