A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analyzing browser extension security
If you already use SecureAnnex, the secureannex mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analyzing browser extension security.
No manual Python environment setup is needed. This MCP server is designed to work with Claude Desktop, which automatically handles all dependencies using the uv package manager and the included pyproject.toml file.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Updates — The Updates tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: SECUREANNEX_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Among the browser automation options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. SecureAnnex's toolset — Updates — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by arsolutioner; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
