pedit-mcp@0.1.0

CAUTION· not started

Publisher claims: "Open-source AI image editor and MCP server: layers, masks, generative fill, image-to-image, background removal. A Photoshop/GIMP alternative an AI agent can drive, local or with your OpenAI, Gemini or Stability API key." 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
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: PEDIT_CLAUDE, PEDIT_COMFY_URL, PEDIT_HOME, PEDIT_SEGNALAZIONI
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso openrouter.ai, stability.ai, replicate.com, groq.com, mistral.ai, deepseek.com, x.ai, react.dev, metiu.xyz — 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 openrouter.ai, stability.ai, replicate.com, groq.com, mistral.ai, deepseek.com, x.ai, react.dev, metiu.xyz as well as its own vendor. The guard injects ANTHROPIC_AUTH_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.

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 2026-11-14 and scored it 77/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Base64 encoding combined with network call. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
