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 · remote - your agent's requests go to api.keenable.ai

endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @keenable/mcp - the @keenable scope differs from the repo owner (keenableai); confirm it's the project's official package

registry vendor namespace ai.keenable - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
