Scan report

mikechao/balldontlie-mcp

github, scanned 2026-08-21, tool surface via package-source

This page reports an automated security scan of mikechao/balldontlie-mcp (github), scanned 2026-08-21. It rates trust (provenance, transport, known vulnerabilities, instruction integrity) as grade B and capability risk (what the tools can do) separately at low. It does not certify the server is safe to connect; it reports what could be checked from outside.

INFO Transport & authentication §3

Local (stdio) server: runs with host-process privileges by design. Transport checks apply to remote servers; scrutiny shifts to §1/§2.
PASS No known vulnerabilities (OSV.dev) §4.1

No advisories on record for balldontlie-mcp @0.6.5 (npm).
UNVERIFIABLE Server-supplied instructions free of poisoning indicators §5.1–§5.4

No server-supplied instructions or tool descriptions were obtainable to scan.

Verify manually - the scoring model can’t judge these for you

  • §2.3 - Is the tool surface no broader than the server’s stated purpose requires?
  • §3.4 - For stdio servers: which environment credentials does it read, and are they scoped rather than org-wide tokens?
  • §6.1 - Cross this server’s capabilities with your already-connected servers: any read-capability × send-capability pairs need explicit sign-off.
  • §6.2 - Run the connecting agent with sandboxing and egress controls sized to the combined tool surface, not just this server’s.
