Verified Safeby thostetler
Overview
Enables LLMs to interact with the NASA SciX API for astronomical literature search, metadata retrieval, citation analysis, and bibliography export.
Installation
npx scix-mcpEnvironment Variables
- SCIX_API_TOKEN
Security Notes
The server demonstrates good security practices by explicitly requiring the API key from environment variables (SCIX_API_TOKEN) rather than hardcoding. The HTTP client handles common API errors (401, 404, 429) and implements request timeouts. There are no apparent uses of `eval`, obfuscation, or direct `child_process` execution for untrusted input. The system primarily acts as a secure proxy to the SciX API. The main risk is the security of the API key itself, which is appropriately handled by user setup instructions.
