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
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_OVERSEERR_API_KEYCLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_OVERSEERR_MCP_TOKENOVERSEERR_API_KEYOVERSEERR_MCP_NO_AUTHOVERSEERR_MCP_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: APPDATA_PATH, CRED_PATTERNS, GENERIC_PATTERNS, HELP_PATTERN, OVERSEERR_LOG_LEVEL, OVERSEERR_MCP_HOST, OVERSEERR_MCP_PORT, OVERSEERR_MCP_TRANSPORT, OVERSEERR_URL, SENSITIVE_PATTERNS, TOOL_PATTERN, USER_CONFIG_KEYS
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso astral.sh — 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 astral.sh as well as its own vendor. The guard injects CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_OVERSEERR_API_KEY, CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_OVERSEERR_MCP_TOKEN, OVERSEERR_API_KEY, OVERSEERR_MCP_NO_AUTH, OVERSEERR_MCP_TOKEN 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 2026-11-14 and scored it 72/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Access to sensitive file paths; Access to sensitive file paths; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
