How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade D reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage D is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (1 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Google Surf MCP safe?

Public trust evidence for Google Surf MCP is thin: several supply-chain signals are missing or weak. This does not mean the project is unsafe — it means an outside observer cannot easily verify the usual integrity checks. Treat with extra scrutiny.
Does Google Surf MCP publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Google Surf MCP. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does Google Surf MCP have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for Google Surf MCP. Maintainers can enable the Scorecard GitHub Action to get a public score; without it, automated supply-chain hygiene is harder for outsiders to verify.
Is Google Surf MCP actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does Google Surf MCP use?
Google Surf MCP ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Google Surf MCP's commits signed?
48% of the last 100 commits to Google Surf MCP are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.

Maintain Google Surf MCP?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores Google Surf MCP from public signals only — we never contact maintainers first. If a signal is wrong, stale, or missing (provenance you publish, a Scorecard you run, signed releases), tell us and we'll review it. Corrections are public and tracked on GitHub.
