Security Report

4.8
Use Caution4.8High Risk

This MCP server is well-architected with appropriate authentication and permission scoping for its purpose. The server uses user-provided Twitter/X session cookies via browser DevTools Protocol (CDP) or manual cookie entry, with no hardcoded credentials or data exfiltration patterns. Token-based HTTP auth is properly implemented for remote deployments. Minor code quality findings around broad exception handling and subprocess usage do not materially impact security posture given the server's legitimate need for these operations. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
