canli-mcp@0.22.0

CAUTION

Publisher claims: "A full finance desk for your AI agent: 355 tools in one free server with no API key, reading SEC filings, earnings guidance, insider trades, options, rates and macro data from the source, plus quant analytics and backtest validation. The agent sees 5 tools and searches the rest, so it stays light on context." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Server started and answered tools/list.
Tested
MCP initialize and tools/list · every tool description, for hidden instructions · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
what the tools do when called with real credentials

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
CANLI_SERVE_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: ALPACA_PAPER_KEY_ID, CANLI_AS_OF, CANLI_ASK, CANLI_FRONT, CANLI_HOME, CANLI_LAB_NOTES, CANLI_NULL_ZOO, CANLI_OFFLINE, CANLI_PACKS, CANLI_PLUGINS, CANLI_POLICY, CANLI_QUOTE_SECONDS, CANLI_UPSTREAMS
Where it talks to
canlicapital.com (its own)
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · no network
What we could not test
what the tools do when called with real credentials

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard. It asks for CANLI_SERVE_TOKEN and talks to canlicapital.com. Give the credential to the guard, not the server: the value never enters the server's environment and only travels to the host you bind.

$vet-skills run --secrets CANLI_SERVE_TOKEN=canlicapital.com -- <the server's command>

Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios) on 2026-11-12 and scored it 76/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Hidden zero-width characters detected. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
