Security Report
5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate RiskHelloBooks MCP is a well-architected, read-only public data server with strong security posture. The server has no authentication by design (intentional for a public knowledge endpoint), exposes only marketing-derived data, and implements rate limiting and audit gates to prevent PII leakage. Code quality is good with proper input validation via Zod, no dangerous patterns detected, and permissions align well with the server's stated purpose. Minor logging and error handling improvements are suggested. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity).

HelloBooks Public MCP Server
A public, read-only Model Context Protocol server that lets AI agents answer questions about HelloBooks accurately — pricing, integrations, country support, compliance frameworks — instead of relying on stale web snippets.
This is the public server. It exposes only marketing-derived, public-domain data. The authenticated MCP server that reads a customer's books lives in
AI-MCP-Hellobooks.

Security posture
- Read-only by construction. No tool mutates state. No tool reaches a customer system.
- Public data only. All catalog content is sourced from the public marketing site.
- No authentication. Intentional — this is a knowledge endpoint.
- Rate-limited. 120 req/min per IP, 60 req/min per session.
- Audit gate.
npm run audit:public-datablocks deploys if any PII / auth token strings appear insrc/data/.

Deployment
Containerised — see Dockerfile. Designed to run behind a TLS-terminating load balancer.
Set PORT and HOST via environment.
Optional anonymous usage telemetry (Layer-2 server-side analytics) is sent to GA4 via
the Measurement Protocol when GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID and GA4_API_SECRET are both set —
see .env.example and src/analytics.ts. Leave them unset and the server runs with
telemetry fully disabled. No customer data, request bodies, tool-argument values, or
IP addresses are ever sent — only anonymous counts. See strategy doc 73.
