Connect an MCP Client that only supports local (stdio) servers to a Remote MCP Server, with auth support: Note: this is a working proof-of-concept but should be considered experimental. Why is this necessary? So far, the majority of MCP servers in the wild are installed locally, using the stdio transport. This has some benefits: both the client and the server can implicitly trust each other as the user has granted them both permission to run. Adding secrets like API keys can be done using environment variables and never leave your machine. And building on and has allowed users to avoid explicit install steps, too. But there's a reason most software that could be moved to the web did get moved to the web: it's so much easier to find and fix bugs & iterate on new features when you can push updates to all your users with a single deploy. With the latest MCP Authorization specification, we now have a secure way of sharing our MCP servers with the world without running code on user's laptops. Or at least, you would, if all the popular MCP clients supported it yet. Most are stdio-only, and those that do support HTTP+SSE don't yet support the OAuth flows required. That's where comes in.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
