Coverage

Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.
Tested
install scripts, with decoy credentials in place · second launch with the clock 45 days ahead · the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

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
GITHUB_TOKENMCP_AUTH_ENABLEDMCP_JWT_SECRETConfiguration, not credentials: ENVIRONMENT, HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE, LOG_DIR, LOG_FILE, LOG_FORMAT, MCP_MASK_ERRORS, MCP_TEST_MODE, PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST
Where it talks to
mcp-standards.dev (its own)
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · no network
What we could not test
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard. It asks for GITHUB_TOKEN, MCP_AUTH_ENABLED, MCP_JWT_SECRET and talks to mcp-standards.dev. 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. What the tools do with a real credential was not observed.

$vet-skills run --secrets GITHUB_TOKEN=mcp-standards.dev,MCP_AUTH_ENABLED=mcp-standards.dev,MCP_JWT_SECRET=mcp-standards.dev -- uvx mcp-standards-server

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 (3 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 91/100 (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.
