1 check matched something in the tool definitions. No finding is not a safety guarantee. How the checks work.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    What changed in FrontMCP after `from` up to `to` (the endpoint's version by default): each release's notes, every note the docs make about a change ("Changed in 1.9.5: before, …"), with its page and section, and, when both versions are documented, which pages changed. `from` can be any release, documented or not. Use it to upgrade a project, or to check whether docs for one version hold for another.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns a runnable example from a FrontMCP docs page: the files of one of its Playgrounds, with their tests, as the docs run them. Without `index`, lists the page's Playgrounds (numbered from 1, in page order) with their section and files.

    What it can reach

    • private-dataThe description's first sentence says "return" and "doc": it reads documents.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns a FrontMCP docs page as Markdown, or one section of it. `path` is a path (/reference/sdk/tool), a frontmcp.dev URL, or an old docs.agentfront.dev URL, which is mapped to its page here; a #anchor in it, or `section`, picks the section. A very long page comes back as its introduction and its sections, to read one at a time. Use it once search_docs, lookup_api or list_pages has given a path, or for a docs URL you already have. The page is the one documented for `version`.

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

    What it can reach

    • private-dataThe input names a file (input.file), and the tool reads: it reads files.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    FrontMCP's skills catalog (@frontmcp/skills): instructions for building with FrontMCP, from setting up a project to production readiness. Without `name`, lists the skills. With `name`, returns its SKILL.md and the reference files beside it; with `file` too, that file. Skills are step-by-step guides written for coding agents: for the docs themselves use search_docs or get_page, and for runnable code get_example. The catalog is the newest FrontMCP release's, so the tool takes no version.

    Lists the FrontMCP releases these docs cover, newest first, each with its release notes and the endpoint that pins it (https://mcp.frontmcp.dev/<version>). Says which version this endpoint serves. To find the version a project uses, call resolve_version.

    What it can reach

    • private-dataThe description's first sentence says "list" and "doc": it reads documents.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lists the FrontMCP docs as the site's sidebar has them, in reading order: Learn (lessons), Reference (APIs, options, deployment), Examples and Compare, each in groups of pages with their titles and paths. Use it to browse, or to find a page by topic when you don't know its name; to find something specific, search_docs or lookup_api is faster. Read a page it lists with get_page. The pages are those of `version`.

    • The name "lookup_api" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Finds a FrontMCP API by name in the Reference pages: a decorator (`@Tool`), function or method (`createFetchHandler`, `this.elicit`), option (`inputSchema`, `throttle`), error code (`TOOL_NOT_FOUND`), CLI command or flag (`--target`). Returns the matching entries, most relevant first, each with what the docs say, its page and anchor. Read more with get_page.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "resolve_version" says "resolve": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Says which documented FrontMCP version a project should read, and the endpoint that pins it. Pass the project's package.json, its lockfile (package-lock.json, yarn.lock or pnpm-lock.yaml; the part about @frontmcp/sdk is enough), or a version range. A lockfile gives the installed version; package.json only the range it allows. Call it first when you can read the project.

    • private-dataThe description's first sentence says "doc": it reads documents.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Full-text search over the FrontMCP docs, by section: page titles, section headings and prose. Returns up to `limit` sections, best first, each with its page, heading, path (with the #anchor) and the start of its text. Read one with get_page. For an API, option or error code by name, lookup_api is more precise.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true

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.

6 paths in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one.

Reads private data6
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out1
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
deny to break every path
{
  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "mcp__frontmcp__whats_changed"
    ]
  }
}

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

  • HighThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 1 tool that changes things (1 irreversible). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://mcp.frontmcp.dev/: tools/list returned 9 tools to an anonymous client, including whats_changed (irreversible)

Install

Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http frontmcp https://mcp.frontmcp.dev/

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__frontmcp__get_example",
      "mcp__frontmcp__get_page",
      "mcp__frontmcp__get_skill",
      "mcp__frontmcp__get_versions",
      "mcp__frontmcp__list_pages",
      "mcp__frontmcp__lookup_api",
      "mcp__frontmcp__resolve_version",
      "mcp__frontmcp__search_docs"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__frontmcp__whats_changed"
    ],
    "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 frontmcp. Review it before you use it.
