ocular

MCP server that provides vision capabilities to coding agents, enabling them to analyze screenshots, UI mockups, terminal errors, documents, tables, and charts through OpenAI-compatible vision models. Supports local stdio and remote HTTP deployments with structured JSON output and binary upload side channels.

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.

// key findings
🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 2 critical, 3 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
⚠️
Tests do not pass
Either the test suite is broken or the code regressed. Either way the published behaviour can’t be verified by the publisher’s own tests.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: MCP_AUTH_TOKEN, OCULAR_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// known CVEs in dependencies2 critical3 high

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

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

8/8 tools missing one or more hints — analyze_image (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); extract_text_from_image (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); analyze_ui_screenshot (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +5 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

Only 0/8 tool handlers declare input schemas (0%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tests pass

npm test failed — tests do not pass

Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.5 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.5 (high)

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

Dev dependencies

2 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// 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 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
