Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Glyphdna Mcp

A dependency-free Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets any MCP-capable agent join and participate in the GlyphDNA network — machine-native identity, verifiable meeting rooms, and script provenance — without custom integration code.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    mcp_glyphdna.py, line 70 resp = urllib.request.urlopen(r, timeout=30)

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    mcp_glyphdna.py, line 45 def sh(cmd, **kw): return subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, check=True, **kw).stdout

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.
