openbb-mcp-server@2.0.1
VERIFIED· install onlyPublisher claims: "OpenBB Platform MCP Server: Model-Context-Protocol bridge for the Open Data Platform by OpenBB." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Coverage
Nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only.- Tested
- every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
- Not tested
- use of the skill by an agent
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
EQUITY_TOKENGITHUB_TOKENOPENBB_UPSTREAM_TOKENor--server-authConfiguration, not credentials: CRYPTO_KEY, OPENBB_SERVER_URL, OPENBB_UPSTREAM_KEY- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the code
- What the honeypot saw
- no credential files read · no network
- What we could not test
- use of the skill by an agent
Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard. It asks for EQUITY_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, OPENBB_UPSTREAM_TOKEN and talks to its vendor. 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 (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-13 and scored it 82/100 (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. Skills load their instruction text when triggered; the figure is what that costs.
