Security Report

4.8

Use Caution4.8High Risk

OpenClaw MCP is a well-architected server with solid security foundations. OAuth 2.1 authentication is properly implemented with secure token handling, CORS is disabled by default, and task isolation enforces ownership boundaries. Minor code quality observations exist around error handling breadth and logging, but permissions align appropriately with a developer tool that bridges Claude to an external AI assistant service. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 0 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
