MCP servers for Caelo CMS: `caelo_chat` (talk to Caelo's own AI) and the admin-scoped Power-MCP (the full chat-runner tool catalogue, driven by your own agent). Lets Claude Code (or any MCP-aware client) drive a Caelo install from outside the browser.

AI Security Review

scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection shows the scanner's credential-transfer finding is consistent with Google IAP service-account signing for the configured Caelo admin, while the agent-related write occurs only through an explicit export command. No malicious behavior was established.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Runtime MCP calls on an IAP-configured installation, or an explicit export command.

Impact

These operations support authenticated access to the operator's Caelo installation and local context export; inspected source does not show unrelated credential transfer or unconsented installation-time changes.

Mechanism

The server obtains a Google access token to request a signed IAP credential for the configured admin, then forwards it with requests to that admin. Export writes the returned context under the requested output directory.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines only a prepublishOnly TypeScript build hook; runtime starts through the declared dist entrypoints.
The authentication helper is inactive unless an operator configures CAELO_IAP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT; it obtains Google credentials to sign a short-lived token for the configured Caelo admin origin.
HTTP calls send that token to the configured admin URL with the Caelo MCP token. The export command writes fetched admin context to the operator-selected output directory, and validates skill slugs.
The flagged locale files contain Zod localization modules, and the inspected dependency manifests identify the MCP SDK, Google authentication library, and Zod at the declared versions.
The release handshake checks the configured admin over HTTPS and may re-execute the matching package release; this is runtime version alignment, not an install lifecycle action.

8 * runs, so the shim has to satisfy both gates: IAP first, Caelo second

9 * (CLAUDE.md §11.B — IAP stays the first line of defense).

10 *

11 * Cloud Run native IAP uses a Google-managed OAuth client, which does not

12 * allow programmatic access with user tokens. What it does accept is a

13 * JWT signed by an allowlisted service account (Google's documented

14 * "service account JWT" path): `iss`/`sub` = the SA, `aud` = the admin

15 * origin with a path wildcard, signed via the IAM Credentials `signJwt`

16 * API. The provisioner creates that SA (`caelo-mcp@<project>`), allowlists

17 * it on IAP and lets every IAP-allowlisted operator impersonate it, so the

18 * operator's own `gcloud auth application-default login` is all the shim

19 * needs — no service-account keys on laptops (CLAUDE.md §11.C).

20 *

21 * Active only when `CAELO_IAP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT` is set (the admin's

22 * /settings/mcp page puts it into the `claude mcp add` command on IAP

23 * installs); otherwise requests go out exactly as before.
