Security Report

2.2
Use Caution2.2Critical Risk

This MCP server implements web search and browser automation with reasonable SSRF protections and rate limiting, but has significant code quality and architectural issues that create moderate security concerns. The authentication system relies on external server-side verification that can fail silently (fail-open), there are syntax errors and incomplete code patterns (async functions without proper implementation), and the subprocess-based browser automation approach introduces subprocess injection risks through insufficient validation. While the server's core permissions match its stated purpose (web access, file operations), the implementation quality and error handling are below acceptable standards. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
