Is homelab-mcp safe?
MCP server for Proxmox homelab — modular, AI-extensible. 65+ tools across 17 domains.
This server can change things — files, a browser, a database, or paid online services. Limit what it can reach.
Why: writes or deletes files; uses your API keys to call online services.

How to use it safely
- ✓ Point it at one project folder, never your home directory or a whole drive.
- ✓ Only give it the folders it needs; files it reads can end up in the AI’s context.
- ✓ Content it fetches from the internet can carry prompt-injection instructions.
- ✓ Use a key with the smallest permissions available, and never paste a production key into a shared config.
- ✓ Pin the version (below) so an update can't change what it does without you noticing.
Code patterns worth reviewing
Automated pattern matches in the published package. Some are expected for this kind of server, and some may be false positives — they are pointers for review, not confirmed vulnerabilities.
Plaintext HTTP endpoint
A non-localhost endpoint is referenced over plain HTTP instead of HTTPS.
dist/tools/setup.js:78
External content fed into the prompt without isolation
The agent pulls in outside content (web pages, emails, retrieved documents) and adds it to its prompt, with no visible marking of that content as untrusted data.
dist/tools/prometheus.js:64
TLS certificate verification disabled
HTTPS certificate checking is turned off, so the agent will accept any certificate — including an attacker's.
dist/tools/health.js:15

Agent Verify reads the package published on npm as text — it is never installed or run. Ratings describe capability, not intent, and are an automated, evidence-based check, not a guarantee. Scanner 2.0.0.
