SaferSkills independently audited zephex-MCPs (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Zephex is a hosted Model Context Protocol server plus optional CLI and web terminal. It grounds AI coding agents in the developer’s live repository — stack, search, architecture, tests, package/supply-chain checks — instead of inventing routes, files, and APIs from training data. It is not a docs-only library MCP (use Context7 alongside for framework docs). It is not the GitHub MCP (use GitHub MCP for PRs/issues). It is the repo-aware piece of a recommended stack: Context7 + GitHub MCP + Zephex. Free tier: 555 requests/month. Product site: zephex.dev.
Without codebase tools, agents:
Zephex tools return grounded structure so the model works on evidence.
| Server | Job | Use with Zephex? |
|---|---|---|
| Context7 | Up-to-date library docs | Yes — complementary |
| GitHub MCP | PRs, issues, Actions | Yes — complementary |
| Zephex | Your repo context, search, packages, tests | Core for shipping in your code |
| Local Serena / Socket MCP / sequential-thinking | Deep LSP / pure supply-chain / pure reasoning | Point solutions — Zephex bundles the daily engineering set hosted |

2. explain_architecture overview
3. find_code for main entry and auth middleware
4. Summarize stack + first 5 files — do not invent structureSafe package add
check_package(name, task=security) then task=check
Only then write import / package.jsonAfter code change

Train on my code? No model training on tool content — see security / data-use.
CLI vs MCP? Same key and tools. MCP = editor. CLI = shell Mode 2. Web = browser Mode 2.
Local MCP servers? Zephex is hosted — one config for every laptop and teammate.
