CRITICAL

npm lifecycle script — runs automatically on install

repo/mcp/package.json:14

    "test:watch": "vitest",
    "postinstall": "node scripts/install-hooks.mjs",
    "setup-hooks": "node scripts/install-hooks.mjs"

Why was this flagged?

npm lifecycle scripts like postinstall run automatically during package installation with no user interaction required. This is the #1 attack vector for malicious npm packages — attackers embed data theft or backdoor installation in these hooks. Rated CRITICAL because code executes before the developer can review it.
