Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

Shiori MCP is a well-structured, security-conscious bookmark manager client with proper authentication, secure credential handling, and appropriate input validation. The server correctly requires credentials via environment variables, implements session-based auth with automatic retry on expiration, and validates JSON inputs before processing. Minor code quality improvements around error handling breadth and logging could be made, but no security vulnerabilities were identified. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Development and validation

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e '.[dev]'
ruff check .
pytest
python scripts/live_docs_test.py

live_docs_test.py validates Shiori public API documentation and repository pages without credentials. Authenticated read/write API behaviours are covered with mocked HTTP tests.

Optional LLM validation can be run with any configured OpenAI-compatible endpoint. For local Aeon validation, set AEON_BASE_URL and optionally AEON_MODEL / AEON_API_KEY before running python scripts/model_validate.py.

API note

This server targets Shiori's documented legacy API under /api/* because the new API v1 is still documented as in development and self-documented at /swagger/index.html on running instances.

Safety

The write-capable tools mutate a Shiori bookmark database. Keep credentials in environment variables or a secret manager, never in source control.
