api200 MCP Server Security Report
API 200 is an open source API gateway to simplify 3rd-party integrations. Import endpoints, set up caching, retries, and mocks. Access all services via one URL. Monitor logs, track errors, and get alerts on API incidents.
Run it securely
This server scored F. Run it behind runtime policy enforcement so one bad tool call can't become an incident.

The short answer
- Is api200 safe to use?
- api200 scores 13/100 (grade F) on the Canopii Trust Index, and carries 2 confirmed security failures that cap its score: No command-injection sinks and No dynamic code execution. It passes 9 of the 20 controls that apply to it.
- What security issues does api200 have?
- api200 fails 2 controls: No command-injection sinks and No dynamic code execution. Each failure on this page carries the evidence behind it — the file and line, dependency, or CVE that decided it.
- How reliable is the security score for api200?
- We could evaluate 98% of the controls that apply to api200. Scores are deterministic — the same source always produces the same score — and a partially-scannable server cannot present a high one, because confidence caps the result. The scanner is open source, so this score can be reproduced independently.
- How was api200 scored?
- Its published source was scanned against a fixed catalog of weighted security controls covering code safety, committed secrets, dependency vulnerabilities, tool-description integrity, authentication and transport, and maintenance. A confirmed flaw caps the score outright regardless of what else passes. The full rubric is published.
Security controlslatest scored version vmain@ca6c7d6
Each control is evaluated deterministically with evidence. The score is earned from passing controls; a failed guard caps it.

Model–MCP Runtime Guardrails
- WarnStrict JSON Schema Enforcementschemas not strict
Tool inputs are constrained (additionalProperties:false), so unexpected arguments can't be smuggled in.
Fix: Set additionalProperties:false and require explicit parameters on every tool.
- PassIndirect Prompt Injection (IPI) Defensesguardno injection markers
Tool/prompt/resource text is free of hidden instructions that could hijack the agent.
- PassUser-in-the-Loop / Approval Scopeguardno destructive tool scope
No over-broad or destructive tools (arbitrary shell, bulk-delete) that warrant human approval.
- N/ATool Definition Integrityguardno prior version to diff
Every consecutive version pair is diffed for new injection markers or destructive scope — a risky diff anywhere in history is a rug-pull (fail, durable); benign description drift warns.
Application Security Checks
- FailNo command-injection sinksguard1 occurrence
Untrusted tool input reaching a shell yields remote code execution. How many servers fail this?
packages/dashboard/src/utils/haveSameRouteParams.ts:5Fix: Never pass tool arguments to a shell; use argv arrays with shell disabled.
- FailNo dynamic code executionguard1 occurrence
eval()/exec()/Function() on tool-derived strings allows arbitrary code execution. How many servers fail this?
packages/backend/src/modules/executeUserFunction.ts:60Fix: Remove eval/exec; parse and dispatch explicitly.
- WarnNo path traversalguard13 occurrences
Naive path checks let tools read/write outside intended directories (EscapeRoute-class).
packages/backend/src/modules/base/mapUrlParams.ts:8packages/dashboard/src/app/(layout)/components/AppSidebar.tsx:31packages/dashboard/src/app/(layout)/services/import/parsePostman.ts:463packages/dashboard/src/app/(layout)/services/import/parsePostman.ts:490Fix: Resolve to a canonical path and verify containment; reject ../ and symlinks.
- WarnNo SSRF sinksguard6 occurrences
Fetching tool-supplied URLs can pivot into internal networks and metadata services.
packages/backend/src/modules/retry.ts:14packages/dashboard/src/app/(layout)/services/[id]/endpoints/[endpointId]/components/SettingsTab.tsx:124packages/dashboard/src/app/(layout)/services/import/components/ImportOptions.tsx:92packages/js-sdk/src/generators/index.ts:14Fix: Allow-list destinations; reject arbitrary/loopback/link-local URLs.
- WarnNo known-vulnerable dependencies56 of 1255 runtime deps vulnerable; worst critical
Runtime dependencies (parsed from the lockfile) are scanned against OSV.dev for published CVEs. Advisory: flagged dependencies lower the score but don't hard-cap it, since transitive reachability is unproven.

- WarnActively maintainedlikely abandoned — no push in 440d
Unmaintained servers don't receive security fixes.
Fix: Keep the repository active; respond to issues and ship updates.
- WarnDeclares a licenseno recognized license
A clear license is required for legal enterprise use.
Fix: Add a recognized SPDX license (MIT, Apache-2.0, …).
- WarnHas a security policyno security policy
A SECURITY.md gives a private path to report vulnerabilities.
Fix: Add SECURITY.md with a disclosure contact and process.
- PassNo unsafe deserializationguardno sinks found
pickle/yaml.load/etc. on untrusted data can execute code.
- PassNo committed secretsguardno secrets found
Hardcoded keys/tokens in published source are live credentials an attacker can use.
- PassCredentials sourced from environmentreads credentials from environment
Reading secrets from env/secret stores avoids hardcoding them.
- PassDependencies pinned (lockfile)lockfile present
A lockfile makes installs reproducible and resistant to silent dependency swaps.
- PassRepository not archivedguardactive
Archived repositories will never be patched.
- PassAdoption & popularityestablished adoption
A small, capped nudge from stars/downloads — widely-used servers get more eyes on bugs. It can never offset a real security failure.
- Not checkedSigned releasesnot evaluated
Signed releases let consumers verify artifacts weren't tampered with.
- N/ANo install/post-install scriptsguardno published package
install hooks run arbitrary code on every consumer at install time.
- N/APackage name not typosquattingguardno published package
Names mimicking popular packages are a common malware delivery vector.
- N/APublished with provenanceno published package
Build provenance attests the artifact was built from the claimed source by CI.
- N/AEstablished maintainerno published package
Brand-new / single anonymous maintainers raise takeover and malware risk.
Transport & Trust Model
- WarnNetwork Exposurebinds 0.0.0.0
Binding 0.0.0.0 or exposing debug inspectors widens the attack surface.
Fix: Bind to 127.0.0.1 by default; never ship open debug endpoints.
- PassExecution Sandboxingcontainerized
A container/sandbox image limits blast radius; a server that runs natively has full host access.
- N/ATransport Encryption (TLS)guardno remote endpoints
Plaintext HTTP exposes traffic and bearer tokens to interception.
- N/AIAM / Authentication Scopingno remote endpoints
OAuth 2.1 / Protected Resource Metadata gates who can invoke tools.
- N/ALive Endpoint Reachablenot dynamically scanned
A dynamic scan connected to the declared remote endpoint and it responded — verified live, not a dead URL.
- N/AAuthentication Enforced (live)not dynamically scanned
If the server declares auth is required, it must actually reject anonymous clients. Serving tools to unauthenticated callers is a real exposure.
