In MCP Servers

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade A reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage B is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (3 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is KiCad MCP Pro safe?

Public supply-chain signals for KiCad MCP Pro are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but KiCad MCP Pro carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.

Does KiCad MCP Pro publish package provenance?

Yes. KiCad MCP Pro's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.

Does KiCad MCP Pro have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

KiCad MCP Pro has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 5.9/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.

Is KiCad MCP Pro actively maintained?

Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).

What license does KiCad MCP Pro use?

KiCad MCP Pro ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are KiCad MCP Pro's commits signed?

92% of the last 100 commits to KiCad MCP Pro 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 KiCad MCP Pro?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores KiCad MCP Pro 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.
