CAUTION· not started

Publisher claims: "38 tools for Local LLMs — Google Search, live feeds, email, documents, QR codes, Wikipedia, S3 upload, vision, OCR, video transcription. No API key required." 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: 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
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: AWS_ENDPOINT_URL, FEEDS_DB_PATH
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso youtube.com, bbci.co.uk, openxmlformats.org, reddit.com, firebaseio.com, arxiv.org, lexfridman.com, google.com, paste.rs, dpaste.com, dpaste.org, very-long-url.com, tinyurl.com, archive.org, amazonaws.com, min.io, cnn.com, nytimes.com, theguardian.com, npr.org, aljazeera.com, techcrunch.com, arstechnica.com, theverge.com, wired.com, reutersagency.com, purl.org, yahoo.com, ycombinator.com, itunes.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 youtube.com, bbci.co.uk, openxmlformats.org, reddit.com, firebaseio.com, arxiv.org, lexfridman.com, google.com, paste.rs, dpaste.com, dpaste.org, very-long-url.com, tinyurl.com, archive.org, amazonaws.com, min.io, cnn.com, nytimes.com, theguardian.com, npr.org, aljazeera.com, techcrunch.com, arstechnica.com, theverge.com, wired.com, reutersagency.com, purl.org, yahoo.com, ycombinator.com, itunes.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- uvx noapi-google-search-mcp

Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

Is [email protected] safe to install?

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-13 and scored it 79/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Privileged sudo command; Privileged sudo command; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
