Presence + messaging for terminal coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) — the /vibe kernel
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected behavior fits a presence and messaging MCP package: invisible characters are stripped during handle normalization, setup configures the agent server through the CLI setup flow, and the checked credential-bearing requests go to the package’s own service. The routing hints did not establish an attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
MCP server startup, explicit setup/onboarding, or user-invoked tools.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the inspected paths.
Mechanism
Handle normalization removes invisible controls. Setup adds the server to agent configuration. Authenticated API calls use the service URL; the inspected tip call requires a positive supplied amount.
AI rationale
The inspected behavior fits a presence and messaging MCP package: invisible characters are stripped during handle normalization, setup configures the agent server through the CLI setup flow, and the checked credential-bearing requests go to the package’s own service. The routing hints did not establish an attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package describes itself as an MCP server for presence and messaging.
- The flagged invisible and bidi characters are handled by a regex that strips them when normalizing handles.
- Setup is routed through the CLI’s explicit setup command or the `vibe-setup` binary.
- Setup writes MCP server configuration for Claude Code and Cursor as part of its setup flow.
- The inspected credential-bearing requests target the package’s own `www.slashvibe.dev` service; the tip request runs only when a positive tip amount is supplied.
Evidence against
- The main entry starts the MCP server when loaded, which is expected for the declared server purpose.
- Setup has an autorun-on-require behavior, though the inspected CLI routes it through setup or first-run terminal onboarding.
