Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

pypi package orchestrator-mcp-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.crAK1644 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
