An MCP server for PowerSchool plugin developers, providing read/write access to plugin workspaces, scaffolding, validation, packaging, and access to the PS data model, tag reference, and documentation.

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.

⚠️
Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do
2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — scaffold_permission_mapping (line 124: fs.mkdirSync(permsDir, { recursive: true })); scaffold_powerquery (line 302: fs.mkdirSync(queriesDir, { recursive: true }))
🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 1 critical
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
🔐
You'll be asked for 3 credentials: DB_PASS, PS_PASS, PS_PG_PASSWORD
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

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

31/31 tools missing one or more hints — ps_server_context (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); sync_access_request (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); add_access_field (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +28 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.

Descriptions match behaviour

2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — scaffold_permission_mapping (line 124: fs.mkdirSync(permsDir, { recursive: true })); scaffold_powerquery (line 302: fs.mkdirSync(queriesDir, { recursive: true }))

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tool inputs are validated

21/31 tool handlers declare input schemas (68%)

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

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tool test coverage

Only 0/31 tools referenced in tests (0%)

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

Dev dependencies

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

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

Tool description accuracy

scaffold_permission_mapping: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; scaffold_powerquery: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.

// 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 8 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
