Is tavily-mcp safe to use?
tavily-mcp scores 71/100 — grade C, which leaves real gaps worth reading before you connect an agent. It passes 3 of the 7 OWASP MCP Top-10 checks that apply to it, with Insufficient Input Validation, Lack of Audit and Telemetry, Inadequate Rate Limiting, and Supply Chain Risk returning a warning rather than a pass. 3 further checks do not apply to this server's transport and are excluded from the score entirely — skipped is not the same as failed. This is what the scanner found on 2026-07-17, not a guarantee. Re-run it yourself with `npx mcpr scan`.
What a grade C means, the ten checks behind it, and the point maths are all on how we score MCP server trust.
