mcp-tap@0.6.9
VERIFIED· not startedPublisher claims: "The last MCP server you install by hand. Discover, install, and configure MCP servers from inside your AI assistant." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Coverage
Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.- Tested
- 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_TOKENSMITHERY_API_KEY- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the codeAlso smithery.ai, githubusercontent.com, nodejs.org, astral.sh, docker.com, slack.com, linear.app, sentry.io, stripe.com, supabase.com, google.com, notion.so, datadoghq.com, cloudflare.com, twilio.com, sendgrid.com, figma.com, atlassian.com, vercel.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
- server startup · the tool list · tool behavior
Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names smithery.ai, githubusercontent.com, nodejs.org, astral.sh, docker.com, slack.com, linear.app, sentry.io, stripe.com, supabase.com, google.com, notion.so, datadoghq.com, cloudflare.com, twilio.com, sendgrid.com, figma.com, atlassian.com, vercel.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects GITHUB_TOKEN, SMITHERY_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.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-10 and scored it 80/100 (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.

Tokens estimated at four characters each. The tool list is re-read by the agent on every turn, so it is the number to compare between servers that do the same job: ranked across the index.
