      "args": [
        "-y",
        "akb-mcp"

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.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package akb-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

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