🚫 Security Considerations

Known Limitations

  1. Local Execution: MCP server runs with local user permissions
  2. File System Access: Server can access local file system
  3. Network Requests: Server makes external API requests
  4. Environment Variables: Server reads environment variables

Risk Mitigation

  1. Principle of Least Privilege: Run with minimal required permissions
  2. Network Isolation: Use firewalls and network segmentation
  3. Monitoring: Monitor server activity and logs
  4. Regular Updates: Keep server and dependencies updated
