About

Keyless MCP: 150 tools for US federal + state/local (SLED) contracting, spending & regulation

Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

This is a well-architected MCP server for federal procurement and spending data. It uses public APIs only, has appropriate authentication (mostly keyless with optional free API keys), and demonstrates strong reliability practices like honest error handling and offline snapshots. Minor code quality issues around broad error handling and lack of explicit input validation in some paths are present, but do not introduce security vulnerabilities. Permissions are appropriately scoped to network HTTP access and environment variables, matching the server's purpose as a federal data aggregator. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
