Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Optivibe Mcp

optivibe-mcp is an experimental MCP server that provides tooling for a coding agent — such as Claude Code — to interface with Zemax OpticStudio.

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.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    demos/measure_design.py, line 224 shutil.rmtree(work, ignore_errors=True)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    packages/optivibe-harness/src/optivibe_harness/tools/_asphere_cells.py, line 379 A raw .NET THROW on the fetch (or an unknown ``param``) resolves to a structured

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    packages/optivibe-harness/src/optivibe_harness/tools/_optimize_common.py, line 1 """tools/_optimize_common.py - private shared helpers for the optimize tools.

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.
