Is Paper Distill MCP safe? Paper Distill MCP scores 31.8/100 (Grade D), ranked #742 of 1283 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage C (2 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: its packages ship with cryptographic provenance; no OSSF Scorecard result yet; recent commits are unsigned; last pushed 2026-03-24. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

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 D reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage C is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (2 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Paper Distill MCP safe?

Public trust evidence for Paper Distill 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 Paper Distill MCP publish package provenance?
Yes. Paper Distill MCP's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.
Does Paper Distill MCP have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for Paper Distill 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 Paper Distill MCP actively maintained?
Slowing down. Last push was 141 days ago — keep an eye on whether activity resumes.
What license does Paper Distill MCP use?
Paper Distill MCP ships under AGPL-3.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Paper Distill MCP's commits signed?
0% of the last 100 commits to Paper Distill 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 Paper Distill MCP?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores Paper Distill 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.
