Is Graphlit MCP server safe?

No malicious indicators - review capabilities before installing
Notable — review in context (a capability is not a malicious indicator):
  • Dangerous MCP tool capability
  • Node.js filesystem read
  • Node.js network egress

What to do: Nothing here argues against installing it. Grant the capabilities it lists only if you expect the tool to need them.

Graphlit MCP server is an MCP server analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators. It can: filesystem read, mcp tools detected and network egress — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

Findings (4)

CapabilityDangerous MCP tool capabilitynot scored · severity highST-MCP-DANGEROUS-TOOL

An MCP tool exposes a powerful capability (files, shell, network, browser, or credentials).

server.tool(
    "screenshotPage",
server.tool(
    "sendWebHookNotification",

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.

CapabilityNode.js filesystem readnot scored · severity mediumST-FS-NODE-READ

The component reads files from disk.

const fileData = fs.readFileSync(filePath);

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.

CapabilityNode.js network egressnot scored · severity mediumST-NET-NODE

The component makes outbound network requests.

const fetchResponse = await fetch(url);

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.

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

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

Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.

Maintain Graphlit 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.

Check your own component

Run the same evidence-backed scan on any MCP server, agent skill, or package.
