Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

This is a well-structured read-only MCP server for Akamai CDN with proper authentication and permission scoping. Authentication is correctly required via environment variables (Akamai EdgeGrid credentials), and the server strictly enforces read-only operations as documented. No malicious patterns, credential exfiltration, or dangerous code execution vulnerabilities detected. Minor code quality observations exist but do not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

CI codecov PyPI License: MIT

Read-only MCP server for Akamai CDN. Search properties, browse EdgeWorker code, query DNS zones, inspect network lists, and translate error codes.

Read-only by design. This server can only read data. It cannot create, modify, delete, activate, deactivate, or purge anything. See blog.wentland.io for the rationale.

Tools

Properties (CDN configurations)

ToolDescription
search_propertiesFuzzy search CDN properties by name. Uses a preloaded in-memory index refreshed every 5 minutes.
get_property_detailsGet property versions, hostnames, and activation status.
get_property_rulesGet the rule tree for a property version — the full CDN configuration.
get_property_activationsList deployment history for a property.

DNS

ToolDescription
list_dns_zonesList all DNS zones, optionally filtered by name or type.
search_dns_recordsSearch DNS records within a zone by name or record type.

EdgeWorkers (serverless functions)

ToolDescription
list_edgeworkersList all EdgeWorker IDs with names and descriptions.
list_edgeworker_versionsList versions for an EdgeWorker.
get_edgeworker_filesDownload a version's code bundle and list all files. Cached in memory.
get_edgeworker_fileRead a specific file from a cached bundle with line-range support.
search_edgeworker_codeRegex search across all files in a cached bundle.

Network Lists

ToolDescription
search_network_listsSearch network lists (IP allowlists, blocklists, geo lists) by name.
get_network_listGet the full contents of a network list.

Utility

ToolDescription
