Is mcp-builder safe to install?

Yes — mcp-builder is safe to install, on this review. Sonnet 5 read every file mcp-builder ships from ckorhonen/claude-skills on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

Reviewed by Sonnet 5 on 7 September 2026 · a grade is what a scan and a reading found, not a guarantee · how this works

What the reviewer found

A documentation guide for building MCP servers; the ~/.aws/credentials check is a debugging one-liner that only tests file existence (never reads content), and 'rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json' is the standard scoped npm-reinstall recipe. The security-best-practices section actively teaches input validation, rate limiting and avoiding hardcoded secrets.

What was read

The file as it ships in ckorhonen/claude-skills:

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 3things. The reviewer kept 1 and dismissed 2 as false.

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
