Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Mcp Logic

An MCP server for automated first-order logic reasoning using Prover9, Mace4, and an onboard reasoning LLM.

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.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER 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.

    docker-setup.sh, line 18 sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    docker-setup.sh, line 18 sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    .gitignore, line 6 .Python

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    .planning/PROJECT.md, line 45 - [ ] **RQ-01**: Replace blocking `subprocess.run()` in async tool handlers with `asyncio.create_subprocess_exec()` or thread executor to avoid blocking the event loop

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    setup-advisor.sh, line 87 echo " curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh"

  • 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.

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

    4. `asyncio.create_subprocess_exec()` is used in place of `subprocess.run()` in all proof/model-finding paths

    .planning/codebase/CONCERNS.md, line 14

    The MCP tool handlers are `async def` but all subprocess calls (`prover9`, `mace4`) are synchronous `subprocess.run()`. This blocks the entire asyncio event loop during 60-second p

    result = subprocess.run([str(self.prover_exe), "-f", str(input_path)], ...)

    .planning/codebase/CONCERNS.md, line 102

    The `assign(max_seconds, 60).` directive and the `subprocess.run(..., timeout=60)` are both hardcoded at 60s. For large domain searches, this is very tight; for small domain search

    The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.
