Inferred from the transports this listing declares (stdio). A client not listed here hasn’t been ruled out — it just isn’t something Forge can confirm.

Attested build
A verified provenance attestation binds this artifact to the listed repository. Nobody has claimed the listing yet — this proves where the code was built, not who stands behind it.

Reads these credentials
  • SSH_MCP_PASSWORDAPI keyoptional

    Password for the configured profile; a per-profile SSH_MCP_<PROFILE>_PASSWORD takes precedence. Credentials are never accepted as CLI arguments.

  • SSH_MCP_KEYAPI keyoptional

    Path to the private key file to authenticate with — the path, not the key material. A per-profile SSH_MCP_<PROFILE>_KEY takes precedence.

  • SSH_MCP_PASSPHRASEAPI keyoptional

    Passphrase for an encrypted private key.

  • SSH_MCP_SUDO_PASSWORDAPI keyoptional

    Password the sudo tool escalates with, when the policy in force allows the privileged class.

Declared by the author in the official MCP registry. Forge does not store, broker, or ever see these values — the config below is scaffolded with placeholders you fill in locally.

Verification confirms publisher identity (repo ownership), not code safety. The security scan covers known CVEs and suspicious install scripts.

Tools

14 tools · 5 privileged
Statically extracted from the published packagev2.19.0 · 11h ago

Read out of the source npm actually ships, at scan time. The package was never executed. Tools registered dynamically at runtime, or hidden inside bundled or minified code, can be missed — so this is a floor on the tool surface, not a complete census of it.

0 of 14 tools published a description.

Tool names and descriptions are written by the publisher and shown verbatim as inert text. They are the strings an MCP client passes to a model, so Forge scans them for prompt-injection patterns — any finding appears with the security scan above. “Privileged” is a keyword match on the tool name, not an audit of what the tool does: a benign-sounding name can still do anything.

Comparing tool surfaces…

Tools exposed

14 tools · 5 privileged · observed by static extraction. A tool surface is what one scan read on one day, not a live capability list.

Linked names open Forge’s index of every entry observed exposing that tool. Browse all indexed tools.

Dependency tree

What one Forge scan resolved from npm metadata on 2026-10-12 — observed resolution, not a publisher declaration.

60 packages resolved · 9 direct · none carrying advisories Resolution stops at depth 4 and 60 packages.

The crawl stopped at the 60-package limit. The rest of the tree was never resolved.

36 more resolved packages are not drawn here (display cap: 24). Every dependency carrying an advisory is drawn regardless of the cap. Full inventory (CycloneDX SBOM)

Declared but not resolved

82 declared dependencies never landed in the tree. They are missing from Forge's resolution, not from the package.

+70 more not listed. The counts by reason above cover all of them.

Not followed: optionalDependencies, peerDependencies. This tree covers runtime dependencies only, so anything those pull in was never resolved.
