Git-only (pinned): installed from GitHub commit 9e98f030e6969266421ccbd9832fc8a584f9d9b0 (uvx --from git+https://github.com/akari-sora/synology-nas-cli@<sha> nas mcp), install scripts off. Initialize and tools/list worked (15 tools). No real tool call was made (the tools need a Synology NAS), so the score is capped at 70.

What we tested and what we didn't

Tested on 2026-11-03

  • Install from the registry
  • We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 15 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.

Known security issues

Not checked (remote-only): hosted endpoint, version unknown.
