Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

nodriver-mcp is a well-intentioned browser automation MCP server with generally sound architecture and proper dependency management. However, there are several concerning patterns: the server performs undetected browser automation specifically designed to bypass anti-bot systems (Cloudflare, hCaptcha, DataDome), which raises ethical and legal questions about intended use cases. Additionally, there are code quality issues including broad exception handling, missing input validation on some parameters, and insufficient logging of potentially sensitive operations. The permissions (file I/O, network access, subprocess) are appropriate for a browser automation tool, but the deliberate anti-detection design warrants scrutiny. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
