Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

This is a well-structured MCP server for accessing public procurement data via the TenderAPI REST API. Authentication is properly implemented via environment variables, permissions are appropriate for the stated purpose (network access to a public API), and there are no critical vulnerabilities. Code quality is good with proper error handling and input validation. Minor observations include broad exception handling and some code organization notes, but these do not pose security risks. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
