02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

npm package @noraai/mcp-server - the @noraai scope differs from the repo owner (solomon2773); confirm it's the project's official package
registry namespace io.github.solomon2773 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
