Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • fair_shortlistRank the venues in one or more curated FairWhere Placelists by FairWhere Score for this group.Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Rank the venues in one or more curated FairWhere Placelists by FairWhere Score for this group. Free estimate-only path: no Google calls, no credits. Returns top venues with banded scores, per-person journey burden, score-factor breakdown, citations, and a continue_on_fairwhere link. Provide placelistIds and/or placelistSlugs (from list_placelists).

  • get_meet_pairReturn the published FairWhere answer for where to meet between two London neighbourhoods (winner venue, minutes, gap, top venues, citation URL).Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_meet_pair" says "get": a word for reading.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "return" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the published FairWhere answer for where to meet between two London neighbourhoods (winner venue, minutes, gap, top venues, citation URL). Use when the user asks “where should we meet between X and Y”. Do not invent a geographic midpoint.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • list_meet_pairsList published FairWhere pages that answer “where to meet between area A and area B” in London.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_meet_pairs" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List published FairWhere pages that answer “where to meet between area A and area B” in London. Each row has a winner venue, minute gap, FairWhere Score, and citation URL. Prefer this over inventing a midpoint when the user names two neighbourhoods. Only status=live pages are returned.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • list_placelistsDiscover public curated Placelists (venue collections) on FairWhere.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_placelists" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Discover public curated Placelists (venue collections) on FairWhere. Returns id, slug, name, description, best_for, categories, venue count, and canonical URLs. Call this before fair_shortlist. If count is 0 for an activity, that activity is unavailable: refuse to invent restaurants/cocktails and pivot to available_activities.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • pingVerify the FairWhere MCP server is reachable.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "ping" says "ping": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Verify the FairWhere MCP server is reachable. Returns a greeting echoing the provided note.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write2
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Remote posture

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://www.fairwhere.com/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including fair_shortlist (write), open_plan_link (write)

    What this check looks for

Install

Pinned to version 0.5.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http fairwhere https://www.fairwhere.com/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__fairwhere__ping",
      "mcp__fairwhere__list_placelists",
      "mcp__fairwhere__list_meet_pairs",
      "mcp__fairwhere__get_meet_pair"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__fairwhere__fair_shortlist",
      "mcp__fairwhere__open_plan_link"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as fairwhere. Review it before you use it.
