Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

This MCP server provides CMS content management for Strapi with generally sound architecture and appropriate authentication. However, there are notable security concerns: debug logging exposes authentication credentials to stderr, a critical vulnerability; admin credentials are passed as plain environment variables without encryption guidance; and the code lacks comprehensive input validation and error handling for API responses. The permissions align well with the server's stated purpose. Supply chain analysis found 7 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
