Questions

What is the PiAPI MCP server?

What tools does PiAPI expose?

23 in total: 21 read-only, 1 that write, and 1 that can delete or overwrite (image_rmbg). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is PiAPI safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does PiAPI need?

It reads PIAPI_API_KEY and PIAPI_CONTRACT_GITHUB_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (1b74857ee812), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
