About
Native MCP server for controlling AMD/Xilinx Vivado on Windows and Linux via persistent Tcl.
Security Report
This Vivado MCP server provides legitimate FPGA design automation but has significant security concerns requiring attention. The server grants subprocess execution capabilities to whatever Vivado commands are passed through, allows arbitrary TCL execution without constraints, and lacks input validation on critical parameters. While the stated purpose (FPGA development) justifies some broad permissions like network access and process spawning, the combination of unrestricted TCL execution, path-based file operations, and subprocess launch capabilities without sanitization creates real security exposure. Users should only expose this server to fully trusted MCP clients. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
