Security Report

6.7
Moderate6.7Moderate Risk

This is a well-structured MCP server with clean architecture and appropriate security practices. It makes HTTP requests to a configured API status service and exposes five read-only tools. No authentication is required for the MCP server itself (which is appropriate for a status-checking utility), and the external API calls are made to a user-configurable base URL with proper error handling. Minor code quality observations noted but do not impact the overall security posture. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity).

Quick Start

Using npx

npx -y apistatuscheck-mcp-server

Broken on published version 0.1.0. That tarball's dist/index.js shipped without a #!/usr/bin/env node shebang, so the shim was executed by sh instead of Node and the command failed with command not found. Fixed in this repo (shebang added, plus an apistatuscheck-mcp-server bin alias so the command matches the package name), but the fix is not on npm yet — 0.1.1 needs to be published. Until then, build from source:

git clone https://github.com/shibley/apistatuscheck-mcp-server.git
cd apistatuscheck-mcp-server && npm install && npm run build
node dist/index.js

Using Docker

docker build -t apistatuscheck-mcp .
docker run -i apistatuscheck-mcp
