Security Report

7.6
Moderate7.6Low Risk

This is a well-structured ProspectAPIs client that requires a Bearer API key from an environment variable, sends requests only to the vendor's documented API, and marks state-changing tools correctly. The only notable items are low-impact: the base URL can be overridden by environment variable, which could redirect the key if misconfigured, and the feedback_send tool transmits free-text details to the vendor, which is gated by the user's agreement in the instructions. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

prospectapis-mcp

MCP server for the ProspectAPIs funding data and research API. It gives an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and others) fourteen tools over https://api.prospectapis.com, one per customer endpoint (the liveness probe GET /health has none; api_version answers the same question). Five tools change state: research_submit (starts a paid research job), watchlist_create, watchlist_test, watchlist_delete and feedback_send; every other tool only reads.

ToolEndpointCost
funding_searchGET /v1/funding$0.02 per record returned, after 100 free records a month; no match is free
funding_getGET /v1/funding/:id$0.02 when found; a missing id is free
research_submitPOST /v1/researchone research at research_price_usd (see account_balance), charged only when the brief completes; refunded on failure
research_getGET /v1/research/:idfree; poll until status is completed or failed
watchlist_create, watchlist_list, watchlist_get, watchlist_deliveries, watchlist_test, watchlist_delete/v1/watchlistsfree to manage; a delivered event costs one record, only when your webhook answers 2xx
account_balanceGET /v1/accountfree
feedback_sendPOST /v1/feedbackfree; reports a bug, wrong field or missing capability to the team (10 an hour per key)
pricing_getGET /pricingfree, no key needed; the live price list
api_versionGET /v1/versionfree, no key needed

funding_search filters: since, until (YYYY-MM-DD), round (comma list such as seed,series_a), min_amount_usd, max_amount_usd, company, domain, investor, country, limit (1 to 100) and cursor (the previous page's next_cursor, passed back unchanged).

research_submit takes exactly one prospect identifier (domain, website_url, company_name, company_linkedin_url, a work email or linkedin_url), or person_name with company_name, plus an optional context (your own product, at most 1,000 characters) and purpose (account_research, pre_call or outreach). It returns a research_id at once; a brief takes 20 to 90 seconds.

npm run check

The package is versioned independently of the API (SemVer, CHANGELOG.md in this folder). It is marked private so it cannot be published by accident; publishing is done only from the product's own npm identity.
