Security Report
The visible portion of this server (README, package.json, and the bundled zod runtime in dist/mcp.js) shows no malicious patterns, hardcoded secrets, or shell execution, and the server needs no API key. However, the source was truncated before the tool handler implementations (lit_search, lit_cite, lit_bib, lit_related) could be reviewed, and the core logic lives in the external dsh-lit-search dependency, which was not audited, so the score is held below 7.0 pending full review. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 0 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
