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 cloud-finops-skills-590a051d.alpic.live

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

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

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

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