Security Report

5.2

Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

This is a well-structured MCP server for accessing public procurement data via TenderAPI. Authentication is properly implemented through environment variables, dependencies are minimal and reasonable, and the code follows secure patterns. The server appropriately wraps a public REST API without exfiltration or dangerous operations. Minor observations include broad exception handling and lack of input validation on certain parameters, but these are low-severity code quality issues that do not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
