// key findings
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 3 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
✅
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: SFTP_PASSWORD, SFTP_PRIVATE_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// tools this server exposes16 tools

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.

sftp_list

List a remote directory (read-only). Returns type/size/mtime/name per entry.

sftp_read

Read a remote text file (read-only). Refuses files larger than SFTP_MAX_READ_BYTES.

sftp_write

Write/overwrite a remote text file from inline content.

sftp_delete

Delete a remote file.

sftp_mkdir

Create a remote directory.

sftp_rmdir

Remove a remote directory.

sftp_rename

Rename or move a remote file/directory (destination is guarded).

sftp_upload

Upload a local file to the remote host (for binary/large files).

sftp_download

Download a remote file to a local path (read-only).

sftp_stat

Stat a remote path (read-only).

sftp_exists

Check whether a remote path exists (read-only). Returns false | 'd' | '-' | 'l'.

sftp_write_many

Write many remote text files in parallel on one connection. Much faster than N sequential writes across a high-latency link.

sftp_delete_many

Delete many remote files in parallel on one connection.

sftp_upload_many

Upload many local files in parallel on one connection.

sftp_download_many

Download many remote files in parallel on one connection.

sftp_sync_dir

Sync a local directory to a remote directory: upload files that are missing, size-different, or newer (parallel). Optionally delete remote files not present locally. Use dryRun to preview.

// 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.
configSFTP_ALLOWED_PREFIXWrite guard — refuses writes/deletes/renames outside a chosen subtree (reads stay unrestricted). Applied per item in batch tools.
configSFTP_CHUNK_SIZEno 32768 Chunk size in bytes for fastPut/fastGet
configSFTP_HOSTyes — Hostname or IP of the SFTP server
configSFTP_MAX_CONCURRENCYno 8 Max in-flight operations per batch/sync_dir call
configSFTP_MAX_READ_BYTESno 1048576 sftp_read refuses files larger than this (use sftp_download)
configSFTP_PASSPHRASEno — Passphrase for the private key, if any
🔐 secretSFTP_PASSWORDPassword auth (required unless using a key)
configSFTP_PORTno 22 SSH port
🔐 secretSFTP_PRIVATE_KEYPath to a private key file (alternative to password)
configSFTP_READY_TIMEOUTno 20000 SSH handshake timeout (ms)
configSFTP_TRANSFER_CONCURRENCYno 64 Parallel chunks for upload/download (fastPut/fastGet)
configSFTP_USERyes — SSH/SFTP username
// quality suggestions

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 — sftp_list (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); sftp_read (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); sftp_write (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.

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.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// 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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
