Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

ApexTick is a read-only market data MCP server that authenticates via an APEXTICK_API_KEY env var and calls only its own documented api.apextick.com endpoints, with no shell execution, eval, or filesystem access. The main points are that the API key is sent to a configurable base URL (APEXTICK_API_URL) which could redirect credentials if misconfigured, and that the server forwards free-text tool inputs such as query and exchange to upstream API parameters with limited validation. Permissions (outbound HTTP and an API key env var) match its market data purpose, so the score remains in the good range. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity).
