#100

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 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 →

Common questions about MCP Youtube

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

Does MCP Youtube publish package provenance?

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

Does MCP Youtube have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

MCP Youtube has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 5.3/10. 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 Youtube actively maintained?

Maintained. Last push was 15 days ago.

What license does MCP Youtube use?

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

Are MCP Youtube's commits signed?

81% of the last 100 commits to MCP Youtube 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.
