mcpipe@0.4.0

VERIFIED· not started

Publisher claims: "Plugin-based MCP server framework — routes any CLI tool through Source → Executor → Sink pipelines" 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
MCPIPE_AUTHORING_REQUIRE_APPROVALMCPIPE_ENABLE_AUTHORINGConfiguration, not credentials: FS_ROOTS, MCPIPE_CACHE_DIR, MCPIPE_CACHE_TTL, MCPIPE_INLINE_THRESHOLD, MCPIPE_MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES, MCPIPE_SUBPROCESS_TIMEOUT, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso shields.io — 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 shields.io as well as its own vendor. The guard injects MCPIPE_AUTHORING_REQUIRE_APPROVAL, MCPIPE_ENABLE_AUTHORING 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 2026-11-11 and scored it 87/100 (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.
