Vendor-hosted
UNPKG's hosted endpoint https://mcp.unpkg.com/mcp (server unpkg-mcp 0.6.2) completed initialize and tools/list with no sign-in and listed 14 tools. Responses include an optional WWW-Authenticate for Shield OAuth, but anonymous calls succeed. Real calls (no LLM, no credentials): resolve_package resolved lodash, search_packages returned npm hits for 'react', and verify_url confirmed an unpkg.com URL. The five shield_* tools need optional Shield OAuth and were not called. Server source is not public, so license scores 0.
Tool-call test (2026-11-06, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 anonymous read-only calls passed. Shield OAuth tools not called. Evidence: live endpoint probe, Nov 6, 2026.
UNPKG-hosted endpoint. Nine general tools work with no account; five shield_* tools need optional Shield OAuth. The server source isn't public, so license scores 0. Listed as a hosted remote (Our review, Nov 5, 2026).

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-06
- We connected to the vendor's hosted endpoint with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 14 tools (Method details: MCP
initializethentools/list) - Auth response: none. The endpoint answered without any login
- Vendor docs: official MCP docs page; states the endpoint URL; client setup instructions (15/15)
- Maintenance: dated vendor source, dated vendor X post announcing the MCP server 2026-11-05 (25/25)
- License: a hosted service has no license to cite (0/10)
- Token cost (estimate)
Not tested
- Security: not audited (hosted service; no code to review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
- Behaviour after signing in, or with a real account
- Source code, repository activity or an open-source license (none published for the hosted service)
- Performance, rate limits or load
- Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
Methodology: how we test (vendor-hosted rule). A high score means it responds and its vendor documents and dates it, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
Known security issues
Not checked (remote-only): hosted endpoint, version unknown.
