Security Report

6.8
Moderate6.8Moderate Risk

Houtini LM is a well-engineered MCP server for delegating tasks to local or cloud LLMs. The code demonstrates good security practices: credentials are properly handled via environment variables, file access is appropriately guarded with size limits and optional root confinement, and there is no evidence of malicious patterns or unauthorized network calls. Minor code quality observations (broad error handling, some input validation opportunities) do not significantly impact the security posture. Permissions (network_http, env_vars, file_read, filesystem_cache) are appropriate for a developer tool that routes requests between Claude and external LLM endpoints. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Environment variable: HOUTINI_LM_ENDPOINT_URL

Bearer token for API authentication (no auth if blank). Legacy aliases: LM_STUDIO_PASSWORD, LM_PASSWORD, OPENROUTER_API_KEY.Required

Environment variable: HOUTINI_LM_API_KEY

Model identifier to use for requests (auto-detected if not set). Legacy alias: LM_STUDIO_MODEL.Optional
