Is mcp-proxy safe? mcp-proxy scores 77.4/100 (Grade B), ranked #101 of 1316 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage B (3 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: its packages ship with cryptographic provenance; OSSF Scorecard rates its supply-chain practices 5.2/10; 50% of recent commits are signed; last pushed 2026-07-20. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

Activity sub-score · out of 100

In Protocols & Tool Integration

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade B 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 mcp-proxy safe?

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

Does mcp-proxy publish package provenance?

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

Does mcp-proxy have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

mcp-proxy has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 5.2/10. 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 mcp-proxy actively maintained?

Slowing down. Last push was 40 days ago — keep an eye on whether activity resumes.

What license does mcp-proxy use?

mcp-proxy ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are mcp-proxy's commits signed?

50% of the last 100 commits to mcp-proxy 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 mcp-proxy?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores mcp-proxy 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.
