Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

This is a well-structured KCI academic data harvesting MCP server with appropriate authentication controls and reasonable permissions for its purpose. The code demonstrates solid security practices: API keys are properly managed through environment variables with validation, sensitive data is not logged, and network calls include proper error handling without credential exposure. Minor code quality issues around broad exception handling and SSL/TLS configuration do not significantly impact security. Supply chain analysis found 9 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity).
