Health and security

Is chrishayuk/mcp-cli looked after, and what do its setup files show

Security check static checks

97 out of 100

Reads what is published about the server: package advisories, licence, secrets in the documented setup and tool permissions. Nothing is installed or run, so this is not a security assessment. Checked by edna-static-v1. What it checks

Licence: Apache-2.0

  • Low The documented install uses mcp-cli, whose published metadata names no source repository. Check it is the right package before installing.
  • Note No published npm or PyPI package of this repository was found, so package advisories were not checked.
  • Note The lab has not recorded this server's tool list yet, so tool permissions were not checked.
