Is dataforseo-mcp-server safe?
- 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.
dataforseo-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).
dataforseo-mcp-server 3.1.3
Automated static-analysis result. It can contain false positives and false negatives, and is not a claim about the intent of dataforseo-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 (2)
The component makes outbound network requests.
const response = await fetch(url, init);
const response = 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.
An MCP tool surface (manifest or tool definitions) was found.
const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
const server = new McpServer({server.registerTool(toolName, {Why it matters: Just context — review which tools it offers and their permissions.
Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
