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 mcp.scavio.dev

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

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

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