Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

XcodeMCPWrapper

XcodeMCPWrapper, an MCP server listed in the PlugVet directory.

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.

Rescanned at commit 20b17fa89591, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    SPECS/ARCHIVE/P10-T1_Web_UI_Control_and_Audit_Dashboard/P10-T1_Web_UI_Control_and_Audit_Dashboard.md, line 41 - Live updating via WebSocket (no page refresh)

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

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

    .gitignore, line 23 .venv/

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    SPECS/ARCHIVE/P13-T4_Add_stdio_proxy_mode/P13-T4_Add_stdio_proxy_mode.md, line 98 - Otherwise: `subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, "-m", "mcpbridge_wrapper", "--broker-daemon"])` detached (`start_new_session=True`), then poll `config.socket_path` up to `connect_t

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

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

    Sources/XcodeMCPWrapper/Documentation.docc/ClaudeCodeSetup.md, line 121 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

    The 400 file cap was reached before every file was read.

    SPECS/ARCHIVE/P5-T1_Create_Unit_Test_Framework/P5-T1_Create_Unit_Test_Framework.md, line 1 # P5-T1: Create Unit Test Framework

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.
