Security Notes
The server emphasizes 'local-first security' and primarily uses standard I/O (stdio) for communication when integrated with clients like VS Code, reducing direct network exposure. Telemetry collection is explicitly tied to VS Code's user settings, allowing users to opt-out. However, the installation via `npx` relies on trusting external npm packages. Additionally, a debug profile (`debug-remotemcp`) shows the capability to run with HTTP transport and outgoing authentication, implying that the server (or tools it exposes) can make external network calls to Azure APIs if configured this way. Hardcoded `aiKey` values in `package.json` appear to be placeholders, not active secrets.
