Security Report

6.0

Moderate6.0Moderate Risk

OrcaRouter MCP server is well-structured with proper authentication handling, secure credential management, and appropriate input validation. The server requires API keys only for chat operations (catalog tools work without auth), uses environment variables securely without logging credentials, and implements comprehensive error handling. Minor code quality observations include broad exception handling and limited logging, but these do not represent security vulnerabilities. Permissions align well with the server's purpose as an LLM gateway client. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 0 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
