An MCP server exposing derived, triage-oriented GitHub issue tools — not a passthrough of the GitHub API.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

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

Rescanned at commit a6fa50af4090, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    verify_phase1.sh, line 13 VER=$(curl -s https://pypi.org/pypi/oss-issues-mcp/json | python3 -c "import sys,json;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['info']['version'])" 2>/dev/null)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    verify_phase1.sh, line 63 if git ls-files --error-unmatch .env >/dev/null 2>&1; then

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    src/oss_issues_mcp/github.py, line 21 token = os.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

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.
