Security Notes
The repository itself (README.md) does not contain explicit vulnerabilities like hardcoded secrets or 'eval'. However, it describes and provides example configurations for running external `npx` packages (e.g., `@playwright/mcp`, `exa-mcp-server`), which inherently introduces supply chain risks as trust is placed in those third-party packages. The nature of some described MCP servers (e.g., remote Python code execution, local filesystem and desktop actions) implies significant security implications for the *runtime environment* if not properly sandboxed or managed by the end-user. API keys (e.g., EXA_API_KEY) are explicitly handled as environment variables, which is a good security practice.
