Safety Assessment

The safety of OpenMCP depends on the security of the underlying APIs and the configuration of the OpenMCP server. It is relatively safe when used with read-only APIs and proper secret management. It becomes risky when used with APIs that have write or delete capabilities without proper authorization and input validation.

Focus on converting existing web APIs, potentially inheriting their security measures.
Standardized interface may simplify security auditing.
Open source nature allows for community review and identification of vulnerabilities.
Ability to host servers locally reduces external exposure.

Security depends heavily on the underlying web API and its implementation.
Potential for exposing sensitive API keys or credentials if not handled correctly.
Improperly configured servers could grant excessive permissions to LLMs.
The `npx @open-mcp/config add` command could be vulnerable to command injection if server-id or ENV_VAR are not properly sanitized.
