Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

This MCP server provides retro game walkthroughs from StrategyWiki's public API with reasonable security practices. The primary concern is the use of shell execution (execFile with curl) to bypass TLS fingerprinting detection, which introduces a potential command injection vector if user input is not properly sanitized. Input validation is present but could be more robust, and the server appropriately throttles API requests per MediaWiki policy. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue (1 critical, 0 high severity).

walkthrough mcp

Retro game walkthroughs, FAQs, and cheats from StrategyWiki's open MediaWiki API.

Originally built against GameFAQs, GameFAQs (Fandom) blocks all non browser clients with a Cloudflare bot wall and has no Wayback snapshots, so the server sources the same kind of content from StrategyWiki, which has a real, open API.

Tools

  • search_games, find games/guides by title
  • get_game_pages, list a game's subpages (Walkthrough, Cheats, dungeon guides...)
  • get_guide, full page text (walkthroughs are big; truncate via maxChars)

Run

npm install && npm run build && node dist/index.js

Example

"How do I beat the Water Temple?" search_games("Ocarina of Time") → get_guide("The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Water Temple")
