Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

This MCP server provides multi-engine web search and content fetching without requiring API keys for most engines. The codebase shows reasonable security practices with proper input validation and environment variable configuration, but has some moderate concerns: optional Playwright browser automation can be invoked without strict validation, environment variable handling lacks comprehensive validation in places, and the server's permissions are broad (network HTTP access, file I/O, subprocess spawning for browsers). Permissions align with the server's purpose as a developer search tool, but users should be aware of the browser automation capabilities and proxy configuration options. Supply chain analysis found 8 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity).
