Is canary-setup safe to install?

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

What the reviewer found

Sets up a project-local MCP server pointing at the vendor's own canary API (canary.magnet.run); it reads .env/.mcp.json only to check for an existing key before writing one the user supplies interactively, and adds .mcp.json to .gitignore. Nothing leaves the user's machine.

What was read

The file as it ships in toolkit-ai/magnet-mcp-server:

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 3things. The reviewer kept 0 and dismissed 3 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.
