Is BGG MCP server safe?

Partially analyzed - Go code not checked for shell, network or file access
Notable — review in context (a capability is not a malicious indicator):
  • MCP server launches a host command
  • MCP tool surface detected

What to do: The Go code was not checked for shell, network or file access, so this result is incomplete. Review that code before installing.

BGG MCP server is an MCP server analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators. Its Go code was not checked for shell, network or file access, so this result is partial. It can: mcp tools detected — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

CapabilityMCP server launches a host commandnot scored · severity highST-MCP-SERVER-EXEC

An MCP server entry launches a command on your host.

mcpb/manifest.json:25 
"command": "${__dirname}/server/bgg-mcp",

Why it matters: Trusting the manifest means running that binary — verify what it is and where it comes from.

Fix: Verify the launched command and its source before trusting this MCP server configuration.

CapabilityMCP tool surface detectednot scored · severity lowST-MCP-DETECTED

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

mcpb/manifest.json:39 
"tools": [
server.json:1 
{
mcpb/manifest.json:25 
"command": "${__dirname}/server/bgg-mcp",

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

Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.

Maintain BGG MCP server?

Check the next package before your agent installs it

The free Claude Code plugin scans each npm, PyPI or MCP package with this report's open-source engine before the install command runs. It runs on your machine and needs no account.
