Security Notes
The `mcp-manager` application itself is a client-side React web GUI and does not inherently contain direct security vulnerabilities like `eval` of user input or hardcoded active secrets. Placeholder environment variables are present in `src/server-configs.ts` but are explicitly for user configuration. However, the core function of this manager is to *generate and instruct users to execute terminal commands* (`npx`, `uvx`, `node`, `curl | sh`, `npm install`, `sudo npm link`) which download and run external code (MCP servers) on the user's system. This requires significant trust in the external MCP server packages and the generated commands. Executing `sudo npm link` as part of the setup for some servers (e.g., Exa) grants high privileges, posing a severe risk if the external package or its dependencies were compromised. Users must exercise extreme caution and vet all external code before running the generated commands.
