React Native Devtools MCP Server

react-native-devtools-mcp npm v0.1.1

Published by pnarayanaswamy — no publish provenance, so origin is unverified, but the source is public: the repository link below is self-declared yet readable, so you can inspect the code before adopting it.

A Why this grade threat 100 − adoption risk = 93/100

The grade answers one question — how safe is this server for you to adopt — so it is computed in two auditable stages. Nothing below is an opinion or an LLM's guess; every line is a real term the deterministic engine applied, and the same input always yields the same number.

1. Threat score — 100 − 0 = 100. What the published surface and source actually contain:

The deterministic scan raised no scored threat in the surface it inspected — the threat score stayed at 100. Capability observations and advisory notes are recorded but never lower it.

2. Client adoption risk — 100 − 7 = 93. Three small, subtract-only factors that reflect your risk in adopting it — a clean scan proves less on a powerful, unverified or barely-inspectable package, so the grade says so plainly:

PointsAdoption-risk factor
−6 capability blast radius (high) — client exposure if the model is manipulated
−1 publisher verification (public source) — no provenance, but the source is public and inspectable

Capability observations and info notes are shown under Findings but never scored. Open any row's finding below for the file, line and evidence behind a deduction.

Findings 7

high Sensitive-source and external-sink co-existMTC-FLOW-004

Tools that read sensitive data ([get_view_hierarchy]) and tools that can send data out ([js_eval]) are exposed together. An agent can move private data to the sink.

Evidence: sources [get_view_hierarchy] → sinks [js_eval]

Fix: Keep secret-reading and egress capabilities on separate, separately-approved servers.

Location: flow get_view_hierarchy → js_eval

high Tool "js_eval" exposes command/code executionMTC-CAP-001

Tool "js_eval" appears to run shell commands or evaluate code (keyword "eval" in tool name). Arbitrary execution driven by model input is one of the most dangerous MCP capabilities; combined with any untrusted input it becomes RCE.

Fix: Sandbox execution, allowlist commands/arguments, and never pass model output to a shell unescaped.

Location: tool js_eval

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/platform.js)MTC-SRC-002

In the server's implementation (`dist/platform.js:1`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

Evidence: { execFile } from "node:child_process"; let cachedDevice; export function execCommand(command, args, timeoutMs = 10_000)

Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

Location: server dist/platform.js

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/tools/recording.js)MTC-SRC-002

In the server's implementation (`dist/tools/recording.js:1`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

Evidence: rt { spawn } from "node:child_process"; import os from "node:os"; import path from "node:path"; import { z } from "zod";

Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

Location: server dist/tools/recording.js

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/tools/screenshot.js)MTC-SRC-002

In the server's implementation (`dist/tools/screenshot.js:1`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

Evidence: { execFile } from "node:child_process"; import fs from "node:fs"; import os from "node:os"; import path from "node:path"

Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

Location: server dist/tools/screenshot.js

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/tools/view-hierarchy.js)MTC-SRC-002

In the server's implementation (`dist/tools/view-hierarchy.js:17`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

Evidence: require("node:child_process").execFileSync(c, ["--help"], { timeout: 3000, std

Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

Location: server dist/tools/view-hierarchy.js

low Mutating tool "js_eval" declares no destructiveHintMTC-CAP-005

Tool "js_eval" can mutate/egress but declares no destructiveHint. Clients that don't default to spec-safe behavior may not prompt before running it.

Fix: Declare accurate annotations, and gate destructive tools on user confirmation regardless.

Location: tool js_eval

Versions 1

Scan history per published version. The engine is deterministic — the same version always yields the same score, so a changed score means the package itself changed.

Embed this score

Show this server's live Trust Score in your README, docs or website. The badge is served straight from the registry and updates automatically after every rescan — no API key needed. It links back to this page, so anyone who sees the grade can also read the findings behind it instead of taking a number on faith.
