Security Report

4.8

Use Caution4.8High Risk

etabs-mcp is a structural-engineering MCP server that drives a local ETABS installation through its official API, and its permissions (ETABS process launch, model file I/O, ETABS database tables, and optional HTTP transport) match that purpose. The main concerns are a generic API dispatcher that exposes the whole ETABS API to the agent, an optional bearer token on HTTP transports, and a token passed on the command line. The visible code shows no exfiltration, backdoor, or unsanitized shell execution, but the policy module and the HTTP server code were truncated, so their enforcement could not be verified. Supply chain analysis found 9 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 8 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
