// key findings

✅

1 tools verified — handlers match their declared behaviour

3 read-only tools verified — handlers contain no write/delete/exec

✅

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.

🔐

You'll be asked for 3 credentials: ZVEC_GREP_SERVER_TOKEN, HF_TOKEN, GLM_API_KEY

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

// tools this server exposes6 tools · 5 behind config

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.

zvec_grep_search

zvec_grep_indexbehind config

Activate an absolute workspace root to create, incrementally update, rebuild, or explicitly drop its index. Do not call this tool to create, rebuild, or drop an index unless the user requested persistent indexing or index deletion.

zvec_grep_index_dropbehind config

Delete the persisted index for an absolute workspace root and release its daemon runtime.

zvec_grep_rgbehind config

Run exhaustive, AST-enriched ripgrep across code or non-code workspace material without an index. Use it when a known word, symbol, filename, source fragment, or regex can answer the workspace-grounded question. Pass a command starting with `rg`; results are exhaustive unless a trailing `| head -N` …

zvec_grep_index_statusbehind config

Read persisted index status and, when active, daemon runtime and job status for an absolute root. Use only after a missing-index response, indexing failure or cancellation, explicit progress monitoring, or daemon diagnostics.

zvec_grep_server_statusbehind config

Read daemon version, queue, runtime and model-pool summary without exposing repository paths.

// 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.

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