origin-mcp@0.1.4

VERIFIED· not started

Publisher claims: "Local MCP server that lets AI assistants automate Origin/OriginPro for data import, worksheet editing, plotting, analysis, and export on Windows." 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
ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: ORIGIN_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOTS, ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_HANDSHAKE, ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_HOST, ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_MAX_TASKS, ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_PORT, ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_STATUS, ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_TIMEOUT, ORIGIN_MCP_DEBUG, ORIGIN_MCP_KEEP_EXTERNAL, ORIGIN_MCP_LOG_FILE, ORIGIN_MCP_NATURE_PALETTE, ORIGIN_MCP_PALETTE, ORIGIN_MCP_TEMPLATE_DIR, ORIGIN_MCP_TOOL_PROFILE
Where it talks to
originlab.com (its own)Also lcpmgh.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 lcpmgh.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_TOKEN only into requests to originlab.com (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --secrets ORIGIN_MCP_BRIDGE_TOKEN=originlab.com -- uvx origin-mcp

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 2026-11-14 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.
