Is repomcp@0.1.1 safe to install?

repomcp@0.1.1

VERIFIED· install only

Publisher claims: "It introspects a repository and exposes guarded MCP tools over stdio, enabling clients to query code and optionally perform mutating operations when explicitly allowed." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only.

Tested: every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested: use of the skill by an agent

What this means for the label: Verified here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.

Before you give it your token

It will ask for: DASHSCOPE_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: REPOMCP_PATH_WSL
Where it talks to: no vendor host named in the codeAlso aliyuncs.com — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
What the honeypot saw: no credential files read · no network
What we could not test: use of the skill by an agent

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names aliyuncs.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects DASHSCOPE_API_KEY only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

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

Is [email protected] safe to install?

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-14 and scored it 88/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

For Kilo Code / Roo Code indexing issues (batch limits, dimensions, base64), run `npx @kanchingyg/repomcp embed --port 11435` and point the indexer at `http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1`.

Fix: Pin versions and sources; vendor anything fetched at install time.
