Hipeac Mcp
This MCP server provides intelligent search and discovery tools for the HiPEAC research network.
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.
SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ
Why this grade
- SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
AGENTS.md, line 20
All project commands via `./run` (loads `.env`, invokes `uv run`). Never call `uv` / `pytest` / `python manage.py` directly. - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
hipeac_mcp/settings.py, line 49
SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get("SECRET_KEY", "SECRET_KEY_NOT_USED_FOR_CRYPTO")
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.
