MCP server for Hostinger API
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged process execution is limited to compiling the package and an explicitly run connector bootstrap. OAuth credentials and API bearer tokens are used with Hostinger’s auth and API endpoints, consistent with the package’s stated purpose.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The MCP starts when its CLI or main entry is run; authentication occurs when needed for an API request. The headless bootstrap runs only when a user invokes it for connector setup.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer or unrelated automatic action was found.
Mechanism
The package exchanges OAuth credentials with Hostinger and sends bearer tokens to the Hostinger API. The build script invokes the TypeScript compiler.
AI rationale
The flagged process execution is limited to compiling the package and an explicitly run connector bootstrap. OAuth credentials and API bearer tokens are used with Hostinger’s auth and API endpoints, consistent with the package’s stated purpose.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest points its CLI and main entry to the Hostinger MCP server and declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The build script runs `npx tsc` as part of the explicit build command.
- OAuth uses `https://auth.hostinger.com` for registration, authorization, token exchange, and revocation.
- The runtime sends bearer tokens to the Hostinger API base URL, which defaults to `https://developers.hostinger.com` and can be changed by the user with `API_BASE_URL`.
- The headless bootstrap is documented as a script to download and run for connector setup; it launches the Hostinger MCP and its OAuth flow.
Evidence against
- The package reads environment tokens and stores OAuth credentials in the user’s Hostinger MCP configuration directory; these are expected authentication behaviors for this API client.
- The bootstrap uses `npx` to resolve `@hostinger/mcp@latest`, but this happens only when the bootstrap is run for setup.
