Verified Safeby nickweedon
Overview
A template project for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with best practices, Docker support, and an example CRUD API.
Installation
uv run skeleton-mcpEnvironment Variables
- API_KEY
- API_BASE_URL
- API_TIMEOUT
- DEBUG
Security Notes
The server template demonstrates good practices for handling API keys via environment variables, avoiding hardcoded secrets. It utilizes the `requests` library for external HTTP calls and sets a standard `Bearer` token for authentication. No obvious malicious patterns or unsafe functions (`eval`) are present in the provided code snippets. The example API relies on in-memory mock data, limiting immediate external attack surface. For production, secure management of the `API_KEY` and robust validation of external API interactions would be critical. Loading `.env` from a user's home directory is a common development practice, but attention should be paid to its contents.
