CAUTIONPublisher claims: "Unofficial MCP server for the Fireside.fm podcast hosting API" Observed in sandbox: sends data to fireside.fm.
Coverage
Started with a decoy FIRESIDE_API_TOKEN; tool list observed. Tool calls with a real credential not tested.- Tested
- server startup with a tagged decoy in FIRESIDE_API_TOKEN · MCP initialize and tools/list · every tool description, for hidden instructions · where the decoy credential went · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
- Not tested
- what the tools do when called with a real credential
- Needs
- FIRESIDE_API_TOKEN — give it to the server where it runs, through vet-skills run --secrets, so the value never enters the server's environment. Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report.
Before you give it your token
- It will ask for
FIRESIDE_API_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: FIELD_KEYS, FIRESIDE_API_BASE_URL, FIRESIDE_PODCAST, FIRESIDE_READ_ONLY, FIRESIDE_UPLOAD_DIRS- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the codeAlso fireside.fm — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
- What the honeypot saw
- no credential files read · contacted fireside.fm (undeclared)
- What we could not test
- what the tools do when called with a real credential
Find out what these hosts are first. In the honeypot it contacted fireside.fm, which nothing in the package names as its own. If that is the vendor's service, fine; if you cannot place it, do not connect it.
Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.
