Security Report
5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate RiskThis 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.

readonly-mcp-akamai
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.
