mcp-server-requests
Verified Safeby coucya
Overview
An MCP server that provides HTTP request capabilities, enabling LLMs to fetch and process web content, including saving to files.
Installation
mcp-server-requestsSecurity Notes
The server allows arbitrary HTTP requests to external URLs and supports writing fetched content to the local filesystem. File writing operations include robust checks against path traversal attacks and writing to common protected system directories (e.g., /etc, C:\Windows). The `--use-root` and `--allow-external-file-access` options, if enabled, increase the potential risk profile by allowing broader file access, but require explicit opt-in via command-line flags. No 'eval' or other critical, obvious vulnerabilities like hardcoded secrets or malicious patterns were found in the provided source.
