Local-first web intelligence MCP server for AI coding agents

AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package performs user-invoked web research, optional local SearXNG Docker management, and explicit MCP configuration.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Explicit `wigolo` CLI/MCP use; agent configuration requires `wigolo setup mcp` or setup selection.
Impact
No install-time execution, credential harvesting, exfiltration, remote payload execution, or unconsented foreign agent-control mutation found.
Mechanism
Local web fetching/search, configured local plugin loading, and user-directed MCP integration.
Rationale
Direct inspection does not substantiate the scanner’s malicious label. Flagged primitives are explicit package features or defensive text/SSRF handling, with no concrete malicious chain.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with high false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
    Evidence against
    • `package.json` defines no preinstall/install/postinstall hooks.
    • `dist/index.js` activates setup, uninstall, Docker, and doctor functions only via explicit CLI commands.
    • `dist/watch/ssrf.js` blocks metadata hostnames, loopback, private, and link-local address ranges.
    • `dist/extraction/site-extractors/amazon.js` uses invisible characters only in a cleanup regex for scraped text.
    • `dist/plugins/loader.js` imports only plugins from the configured local plugins directory.
    • `dist/cli/tui/config-writer.js` adds a named wigolo MCP entry only for selected agents.
