provenyn-mcp@2.1.0

VERIFIED· not started

Publisher claims: "Provenyn MCP Gateway — every MCP tool call checked against an agent passport, and signed into a receipt." 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
PROVENYN_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: PROVENYN_AGENT, PROVENYN_API, PROVENYN_ATTEST_OUTPUT, PROVENYN_CHAIN_ID, PROVENYN_MCP_HEADERS, PROVENYN_MCP_TIMEOUT, PROVENYN_MCP_URL, PROVENYN_NO_TOOL_MANIFEST, PROVENYN_PARENT_RUN_ID, PROVENYN_PURPOSE, PROVENYN_TEAM, PROVENYN_USER
Where it talks to
provenyn.com (its own)Also linear.app — 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 linear.app as well as its own vendor. The guard injects PROVENYN_API_KEY only into requests to provenyn.com (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --secrets PROVENYN_API_KEY=provenyn.com -- uvx provenyn-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 2026-11-15 and scored it 86/100 (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.
