Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security75
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • A critical CVE affects chromadb, and no fixed version has been published yet. View diagnostics → Fail
  • Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 8 of 91 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency44
Schema Quality & AI Usability78
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 749 tokens (~68/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management90
  • Stability observed for 27 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "firewall_remove_pattern" implies "remove" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

How do I install the io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp server?

io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx code-firewall-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~749 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Common questions

What is the io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp server?

io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp. Structural similarity-based code filter. Stops malicious code pattern reaching execution tools. This page covers its PyPI package (code-firewall-mcp).

Is the io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp scores 74 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 8 known advisories against it as of 15 September 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp server expose?

io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp exposes 11 tools: firewall_system_check, firewall_setup_ollama, firewall_setup_ollama_direct, firewall_ollama_status, firewall_check, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 749 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 15 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp server under?

io.github.egoughnour/code-firewall-mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
