muckrock-mcp@0.5.1
VERIFIED· not startedPublisher claims: "Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MuckRock Requests and DocumentCloud APIs" 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
MCP_API_TOKENMUCKROCK_PASSWORDConfiguration, not credentials: MCP_CACHE_SCOPE, MCP_CACHE_TTL_MS, MCP_CORS_ORIGINS, MCP_DEBUG, MCP_HOST, MCP_INSTRUCTIONS, MCP_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE, MCP_PORT, MCP_SERVER_NAME, MCP_SERVER_VERSION, MCP_TRANSPORT, MUCKROCK_BASE_URL, MUCKROCK_USERNAME- Where it talks to
- muckrock.com (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 MCP_API_TOKEN, MUCKROCK_PASSWORD and talks to muckrock.com. 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.
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 2026-11-12 and scored it 89/100 (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.

Cost to the agent
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.
