Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions
What is the @shortcut/mcp MCP server?
The MCP server for Shortcut
What tools does @shortcut/mcp expose?
4 in total: 4 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is @shortcut/mcp 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.
What credentials does @shortcut/mcp need?
It reads AUTH_SERVER, OAUTH_ALLOWED_REDIRECT_URIS, SHORTCUT_API_TOKEN, SHORTCUT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, SHORTCUT_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET and TEST_AUTH_CODE 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 does @shortcut/mcp run?
It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as @shortcut/mcp at 0.25.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (c5131fdc26c2), read on 2026-10-12. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
