Is thingery safe?
Thingery is the open item database and MCP server for AI agents to list, find, and trade second-hand goods.
This server can change things — files, a browser, a database, or paid online services. Limit what it can reach.
Why: writes or deletes files; queries a database; uses your API keys to call online services.
What it can do
- Writes or deletes files
- Reads files
- Calls internet services
- Queries a database
- Needs API keys or tokens
Tools it offers your AI (21):
- describe_category
- create_listing
- search_items
- get_item
- my_listings
- update_listing
- add_item_image
- get_payout_setup
- create_order
- get_order
- cancel_order
- record_tracking
- confirm_payment
- confirm_receipt
- open_dispute
- release_funds
- save_intent
- my_intents
- update_intent
- delete_intent
- verify_probe
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.
- ✓ Give it a read-only database user unless writes are required.
- ✓ 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/oauth.js:438
SQL query built from unescaped input
A SQL statement is assembled by string concatenation, formatting, or interpolation instead of bound parameters.
dist/chatgpt-oauth.js:64
