MCP, MCP server
dev.hythe/hythe
A coordination bus + shared truth for your agent fleet. Self-hosted, two-component setup: a dockerized server plus a thin stdio bridge for your MCP clients.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade B
Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit 449794a59251, unchanged since the check below.
NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP
Why this grade
- NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
mcp-stdio-http-bridge.cjs, line 258
const req = http.request({ - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
bin/engram-mcp.cjs, line 12
* --write-env generates an API key and writes ./.env - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
mcp-stdio-http-bridge.cjs, line 246
if (process.env.API_KEY) headers['x-api-key'] = process.env.API_KEY; - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.
Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
