Tested npm @aikidosec/mcp 1.0.34 (AGPL; published by the aikidosec npm scope; no public GitHub repository in package metadata). Initialize and tools/list over stdio succeeded with no credentials and listed 13 tools (scan paths/full scan, OSS dependency scan, issues list, login, ignore/snooze/severity, workspaces, deep review). Real calls need an Aikido account: aikido_login, aikido_workspaces_list and aikido_issues_list all returned isError with a missing-keychain / set AIKIDO_API_KEY message pointing at Settings → Integrations → AI Code Generators → Aikido MCP Server (live endpoint probe, Nov 7, 2026). We did not set AIKIDO_API_KEY or open a browser sign-in. Vendor docs at help.aikido.dev/ai-and-dev-tools/aikido-mcp link the exact npm package. Score capped: no passing tool call.

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-07
- Install from the registry
- We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 13 tools (Method details: MCP
initializethentools/list) - Maintenance signals (last push, archived/deprecated status)
- Docs (README length, install and config example)
- License (OSI-approved or not)
- Token cost (estimate)
Not tested
- Security: not audited (no code review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
- Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
- Behaviour with real credentials or a real account
- Performance, rate limits or load
- Correctness of results beyond the listed tasks
Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
