MCP Development Kit: Guide + Server Templates + Registry Configs

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This non-executable guide bundle asks for sensitive payment, API, signing, and wallet-related values without showing why it needs them or including the promised kit contents.

Review before installing. Do not provide production Stripe keys, signing keys, wallet-related values, or other sensitive credentials unless the publisher supplies the promised materials and clear, scoped instructions explaining why each value is required.

Finding
The manifest declares four sensitive credentials, including API keys and a signing key, even though the skill is explicitly marked as a non-executable bundle with install: none and executable: false. Requesting privileged secrets without a runtime need violates least privilege and creates unnecessary exposure: users may disclose billing, wallet, or signing credentials to content that only provides guides/templates.
