About
MCP server wrapping the Crossref REST API for scholarly metadata.
Security Report
This is a well-designed MCP server wrapping the Crossref REST API with thoughtful security architecture. Authentication is optional but properly scoped; the codebase is clean with proper error handling, input validation, and no malicious patterns. Rate limiting, caching, and credential handling follow best practices. Minor code quality observations around broad exception handling and logging do not meaningfully impact security. Package verification found 1 issue.
