paperforge-mcp@1.0.2
VERIFIED· not startedPublisher claims: "MCP server: research materials → submission-ready LaTeX papers" 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.

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names assemblyai.com, crossref.org, semanticscholar.org, arxiv.org, overleaf.com, openalex.org, jina.ai as well as its own vendor. The guard injects ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, OVERLEAF_GIT_TOKEN, PAPERFORGE_API_KEY, SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY only into requests to paperforge.dev (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 81/100 (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. 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.
