Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

remit-mcp is a well-structured MCP server for remittance corridor comparison with strong security practices. The server uses read-only tools on static demo data, implements basic audit logging with PII hashing, and has appropriate dependencies. No authentication is required (appropriate for public financial reference data), and no sensitive credentials or dangerous operations are present. Minor quality observations exist around logging and error handling, but do not warrant security concerns. Supply chain analysis found 8 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
