Is Anilist MCP server safe?
- Dangerous MCP tool capability
- npm prepare hook
- MCP tool surface detected
anilist-mcp is an AI npm_package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators, though 3 risky constructs are reported for review. It can: install time execution and mcp tools detected — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).
anilist-mcp 1.4.0
Automated static-analysis result. It can contain false positives and false negatives, and is not a claim about the intent of Anilist MCP server's authors. Report a false positive.
Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (3)
An MCP tool exposes a powerful capability (files, shell, network, browser, or credentials).
"name": "get_user_activity",
Why it matters: Wired into an agent, these grant it real access to your machine — confirm each is required.
Fix: Confirm each powerful tool is required and constrained; broad MCP tools (shell/filesystem/network) grant an agent significant host access.
package.json has a 'prepare' script (runs on git/local installs and before publishing).
"prepare": "pnpm run build",
Why it matters: Usually a build step, but confirm it doesn't fetch or run remote code.
Fix: Usually a legitimate build step; confirm it only builds and does not fetch or execute remote code.
An MCP tool surface (manifest or tool definitions) was found.
"tools": [
Why it matters: Just context — review which tools it offers and their permissions.
Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
