Is Joxo MCP server safe?

No malicious indicators - review capabilities before installing
Notable — review in context (capabilities are not malware):
  • MCP server launches a host command
  • 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.

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

Findings (2)

HIGHMCP server launches a host commandST-MCP-SERVER-EXEC

An MCP server entry launches a command on your host.

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.

LOWMCP tool surface detectedST-MCP-DETECTED

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

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

Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
