security-pass

security-pass is a skill for Claude Code from cyanheads/anime-mcp-server. It costs 118 tokens per session (6,315 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of security-pass, Apache-2.0.

A review guide for checking an MCP server, a program that gives an AI agent access to tools or data, for common security gaps. It covers issues such as unsafe inputs, excessive permissions, data leaks, and tenant separation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for security reviews of MCP servers, including checks of URLs, file paths, shell commands, destructive actions, errors, and multi-tenant data access.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to find risks in the server's tools, descriptions, authentication, and input handling. This helps identify problems before release or after significant changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

security-pass scanned grade A with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Smell:** `return { body: await fetch(url).then(r => r.text()) }` rendered directly in `format()`. Or: `description: \`Look up ${tenant.customLabel}\`` where `customLabel` is tenant-supplied.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 356 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

An MCP server is a new attack surface with unique properties — tool output feeds back into the LLM's context, scopes gate what the model can do on the user's behalf, and per-request state must stay tenant-scoped. This skill walks a server through eight axes shaped around what the server builder actually controls. Framework-level concerns (transport, JSON-RPC parsing, auto-correlation, error classification) are out of scope — mcp-ts-core handles those.

Read the code. Don't trust patterns from memory.

When to Use

  • Before a release
  • After adding or modifying a batch of handlers or services
  • Periodically (quarterly-ish)
  • User asks for a "security review", "audit", "hardening pass", or similar

Inputs

Gather before starting. Ask if unclear:

  1. Scope — whole server, specific module, or recent diff?
  2. Known concerns — anything the user already suspects?
  3. Deployment context — multi-tenant? public network? auth mode? (stdio / local-http / public-http behave differently)
  4. Severity floor — report all findings, or skip medium/low?

Steps

1. Build the map

Surface what you're auditing before diving in. Paths below assume the mcp-ts-core layout — adjust to your repo.

find src/mcp-server/tools/definitions -name "*.tool.ts" | sort
find src/mcp-server/resources/definitions -name "*.resource.ts" 2>/dev/null | sort
find src/mcp-server/prompts/definitions -name "*.prompt.ts" 2>/dev/null | sort
find src/services -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | sort

Note: tool / resource / prompt counts, auth mode, storage provider, upstream APIs, which tools have destructiveHint, which handlers request a consent round via ctx.requestInput, which services hold module-scope state, whether the server reads roots.

If transport is streamable HTTP or SSE, also capture:

  • Bind address (127.0.0.1 for local, or 0.0.0.0 / public interface?)
  • Origin allowlist (DNS rebinding mitigation) — configured, or wildcard / missing?
  • Session ID source (framework CSPRNG, or builder-supplied?) and binding to auth identity
  • Any unauthenticated routes (/healthz, /sse, metadata endpoints) — do they leak tool lists or tenant hints?
  • MCP Authorization spec: if implemented, PKCE enforced, token audience (aud) checked, resource indicators used

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

security-pass is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyanheads/anime-mcp-server (2 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 6,315 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). It is 100% identical to security-pass, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
