Overview

AI-generated overview

A local proof-of-concept MCP server intended for update-hijack security research rather than everyday assistant tasks.

What you can do
The registry describes it as a benign proof-of-concept MCP server for update-hijack security research. No tools are listed in the manifest, so the concrete capabilities it exposes to an assistant are not documented here. It runs as a local process over stdio.
When to use it
Only relevant to people studying or reproducing update-hijack attack scenarios in a controlled setting. It is not presented as a general-purpose server for normal assistant workflows.
Requirements
Runs as a local process on the user's machine via the npm package @nottiboy1337/mcp-update-hijack-poc over stdio. Desktop only; no web executable. No authentication, environment variables, or headers are declared.
Before you install
It is explicitly a proof of concept for update-hijack security research, so treat it as untrusted test code and run it only in an isolated environment. No tools, credentials, or data flows are documented, so its actual behavior cannot be verified from this listing.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Update Hijack Poc in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

25% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.

  • Tools listed15 pts

    Answer tools/list without a credential, or ship a package that starts in a sandbox without one.
