Is Ekwo OS MCP server safe?
- Dangerous MCP tool capability
- Node.js network egress
- MCP tool surface detected
What to do: Nothing here argues against installing it. Grant the capabilities it lists only if you expect the tool to need them.
Ekwo OS MCP server is an npm package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators. It can: mcp tools detected and network egress — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).
@ekwo-ai/mcp 0.11.1
Automated static-analysis result. It can contain false positives and false negatives, and is not a claim about the intent of Ekwo OS 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).
server.registerTool('list_api_keys', {server.registerTool('create_api_key', {server.registerTool('revoke_api_key', {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.
The component makes outbound network requests.
import type { IncomingMessage, ServerResponse } from 'node:http';Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but confirm the destinations are expected and no sensitive data leaves.
Fix: Confirm the destination hosts are expected and that no sensitive data is sent off-host.
An MCP tool surface (manifest or tool definitions) was found.

Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
