Git-only (pinned)
Git-only (pinned): installed from GitHub commit c7f2fa4c5ef04fc899d0bdf91cf90f3ade8d8f52 (npx -y github:ctoldigital/axuse#<sha>), install scripts off. Initialize and tools/list worked (33 tools). Real calls (no credentials, no browser installed): ax_plugins returned the plugin list (none loaded) and ax_tabs returned an empty tab list. Browser and desktop tools (ax_open, ax_click, ax_desktop_*) were not called: they need Chrome (the repo's own `install-browser` downloads Chrome for Testing, which we did not run) or a desktop session. License is PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 (package.json; GitHub reports NOASSERTION), not an open-source license. Not listed on Glama when tested. Score capped at 70 (setup and self-check calls do not count as a tested tool): the two calls that passed (ax_plugins, ax_tabs) only report the server's own state; core tools not tested (opening and reading a page needs Chrome, which we did not install).
Tool-call test (2026-11-09, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): self-check only. 2 of 2 read-only calls passed. Browser/desktop tools not called (need Chrome or a desktop session). Setup/self-check calls only: core tools not tested. Evidence: local test run, Nov 9, 2026.

What we tested and what we didn't

Tested on 2026-11-09

  • Install from the registry
  • We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 33 tools (Method details: MCP initialize then tools/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.
