CAUTION· not started

Publisher claims: "Build MCP servers from natural language prompts — local-first, privacy-focused" 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
API_KEYJWT_SECRETOPENAI_API_KEYWEBHOOK_SECRETConfiguration, not credentials: API_BASE_URL, DB_PATH, DEFAULT_FROM, JIRA_BASE_URL, JIRA_EMAIL, JWT_EXPIRY_HOURS, MAX_ROWS, OPENAI_BASE_URL, PIPELINE_DATA_DIR, SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PASS, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_USER, USERS_DB
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso nodejs.org, python.org, nodesource.com, slack.com, stripe.com, notion.com, notion.so, spotify.com, google.com, twitter.com, discord.com, linear.app, atlassian.net, atlassian.com, linkedin.com, microsoft.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 nodejs.org, python.org, nodesource.com, slack.com, stripe.com, notion.com, notion.so, spotify.com, google.com, twitter.com, discord.com, linear.app, atlassian.net, atlassian.com, linkedin.com, microsoft.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects API_KEY, JWT_SECRET, OPENAI_API_KEY, WEBHOOK_SECRET only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- uvx prompt2mcp

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 2026-11-15 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Hidden zero-width characters detected; Privileged sudo command; Prompting user to enter sensitive credentials. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
