Security Report
6.2
Moderate6.2Moderate RiskThis MCP server is well-designed with strong security fundamentals. It implements proper input validation using Zod, has no hardcoded credentials, and delegates all computation to a remote API to avoid local data processing risks. The server has appropriate error handling and respects HTTP standards (timeouts, rate-limiting). Minor code quality observations exist but do not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

wpgoldmine-mcp
An MCP server for finding WordPress plugin opportunities — large, established plugins weakened by abandonment, low ratings, or poor support, i.e. plugins you could realistically replace or out-build. It lets AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) query the WordPress.org plugin directory through the lens of "what's a takeable market here?"
Powered by wpgoldmine.io. All querying runs server-side, so no local database or scraping is required.
