Does the job. Advanced use cases need more documentation.

4.0 / 5

Python-first approach works well for my stack. Docs are decent.

Spun up an MCP server in under 5 minutes. The boilerplate reduction is real.

03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED

Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.

Telemetry disclosureUndisclosed egress detected.Static checks found network calls the docs do not mention. Disclosed telemetry is common and fine, silent telemetry is the finding.

Security tierTier 1, Contained.No network access and no credentials. Runs entirely on its own. What tiers mean

Permission scope breadth5 findings

INFOfastmcp_slim/fastmcp/cli/apps_dev.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

INFOtests/test_mcp_config.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

INFOtests/cli/test_run.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

INFOtests/utilities/json_schema_type/test_real_world_schemas.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

INFOtests/conformance/test_conformance.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
