CAUTION· startup only

Publisher claims: "StarReel MCP server — drive the AI short-drama production pipeline (script → storyboards → frames → video → final cut) from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client" Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested.
Tested
server startup over stdio (initialize sent) · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials
Needs
STARREEL_API_KEY — 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.

What this means for the label: Caution 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
STARREEL_API_KEYSTARREEL_AUTH_BASEConfiguration, not credentials: STARREEL_LOC_BASE, STARREEL_MCP_LANG
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso shortreelai.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
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials

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

$vet-skills run --net declared -- npx -y @starreel/mcp

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; startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested) on 2026-11-11 and scored it 70/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Access to sensitive file paths; References a credential file in the home directory; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
