Security review: not tested

Score = points from our five tests (install, handshake, maintenance, docs, license). Not a quality or security rating. Methodology

  • Docs15/15
  • License10/10

Tested npm @mui/mcp 0.1.9 (MIT; repo mui/mui-x packages/mcp, 5,876 GitHub stars when checked). Stdio, 3 tools (useMuiDocs, fetchDocs, generateReactCode), no account. tools/list first showed 2 tools; useMuiDocs registers only after the docs catalog loads (3 tools about 8 s after start), so our first call failed with 'Tool useMuiDocs not found' and was rerun after waiting. Real calls: useMuiDocs for @mui/material returned the Material UI 9.5.0 docs index, and fetchDocs returned the React Button page.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 2 of 2 read calls passed (after waiting for the late-registered useMuiDocs tool), no key. Evidence: local test run, Nov 11, 2026.

Transport (tested 2026-11-11): stdio

Token cost (estimate): approx. 2788 tokens, cl100k estimate (3 tools, measured 2026-11-11, version 0.1.9). This is an estimate from our testing of the tool names, descriptions and input schemas, counted with cl100k_base.

What we tested and what we didn't

Tested on 2026-11-11

  • Install from the registry
  • We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 3 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.
