Security Notes
The server uses web scraping (`cheerio`, `undici`) to fetch data from GitHub Trending, which relies on GitHub's page structure remaining consistent. It reads proxy settings from standard environment variables (`HTTPS_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY`) or a command line argument (`--proxy`), which is common practice. File system operations are confined to a user-specific cache directory (`~/.github-trending-mcp/cache.json`) and do not pose a system-wide risk. No 'eval', hardcoded secrets, or obvious malicious patterns were found. The tool's reliance on scraping could make it brittle if GitHub's page structure changes.
