Security Report
The dyslexiasteps-mcp server is a read-only word list lookup tool that reads a bundled JSON dataset and returns results without any network calls, shell execution, or credential handling. Its permissions (file_read of the bundled data file, optional network_http for the self-hosted HTTP transport) match its stated purpose, and no malicious or dangerous patterns were found. The only observations are minor: the HTTP transport has no authentication, which is acceptable for a public read-only dataset, and the sync script copies a sibling file without validation, which is a build-time convenience rather than a runtime risk. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity).

dyslexiasteps-mcp
MCP server for the free word lists on Dyslexia Steps: 38 English phonics and sight word lists placed by grade (Pre-K to Grade 3) with the source of each placement, plus 216 lists in German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese. Ask an assistant for "20 words with sh for a first grader" and it answers from sourced lists. Read-only.

Use
Local:
{ "mcpServers": { "dyslexiasteps": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "dyslexiasteps-mcp"] } } }
Claude Code: claude mcp add --scope user dyslexiasteps -- npx -y dyslexiasteps-mcp.
Self-host the HTTP transport: npm run build && PORT=8787 npm run start:http (POST /mcp, stateless).
Honest limits
A grade is a typical guide, not a rule: programs and standards differ, and a placement is not an assessment of any child. The lists in other languages follow each language's own reading curriculum and have no grade. The server only returns word lists; it gives no advice about a learning difficulty.
