Is Atlassian MCP server safe?

repo is an AI mcp_server analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators, though 2 risky constructs are reported for review. It can: filesystem read and mcp tools detected — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

No malicious indicators - review capabilities before installing
Notable — review in context (capabilities are not malware):
  • Node.js filesystem read
  • MCP tool surface detected

No malicious indicators found by static analysis.

Findings (2)

MEDIUMNode.js filesystem readST-FS-NODE-READ

The component reads files from disk.

scripts/validate-template.mjs:48-48 
raw = await fs.readFile(filePath, "utf8");
scripts/validate-template.mjs:174-174 
const content = await fs.readFile(filePath, "utf8");

Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but worth confirming it can't be steered into reading sensitive files.

Fix: Confirm which files are read and that paths cannot be influenced by untrusted input to reach sensitive locations.

LOWMCP tool surface detectedST-MCP-DETECTED

An MCP tool surface (manifest or tool definitions) was found.

.mcp.json:2-2 
"mcpServers": {
.mcp.json:1-1 
{
gemini-extension.json:4-4 
"mcpServers": {

Why it matters: Just context — review which tools it offers and their permissions.

Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
