# Serena MCP: the IDE for your agent

> A powerful toolkit for coding, providing semantic retrieval and editing capabilities.

- name: io.github.oraios/serena
- version: 1.5.3
- connection class: L0 (run_local_package)
- trust: 81/100
- quality: –/100 (not scored)
- owner: not claimed
- descriptor: https://api.protogrid.dev/v1/servers/io.github.oraios%2Fserena
- tools: https://api.protogrid.dev/v1/servers/io.github.oraios%2Fserena/tools

**Runs on your machine: something must execute the package.** Only local packages are published (npm, PyPI, OCI, …). The registry never executes them, so tools are unknown until you run it.

## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: n/a
- freshness: 65
- provenance: 80
- drivers: +repository +namespace-matches-repo ~liveness-unmeasured ~updated-147d-ago
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality –/100 (not scored)

Not scored: fewer than three checks apply, usually because no remote answered a credential-free probe or the server is a local package.

### protocol: n/a (weight 25)

- n/a `protocol.modern`, `protocol.stateless`, `protocol.transport`, `protocol.list_ttl`: no remote answered a protocol handshake (not probed yet, unreachable, or local-only)

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: n/a (weight 30)

- n/a `tools.descriptions`, `tools.description_length`, `tools.schemas`, `tools.annotations`, `tools.directory_hints`, `tools.token_cost`, `tools.api_dump`: tool list unknown (behind auth, not probed, or empty)

### stability: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `stability.changes`, `stability.rug_pull`: tool list unknown

### dependencies: 33 (weight 15)

- fail `deps.known_vulns`: 8 advisories to act on (malicious, or rated high or critical with a fix available): GHSA-537c-gmf6-5ccf in cryptography@46.0.7 (direct, fixed in 48.0.1), GHSA-g6cj-pr64-35w5 in cryptography@46.0.7 (direct, fixed in 50.0.0), GHSA-jwv3-5hgf-82ww in cryptography@46.0.7 (direct, fixed in 49.0.0), ...; 9 more of lower severity or without a fix
- fail `deps.mcp_sdk_version`: mcp 1.27.0 has 4 known advisories (GHSA-84m7-p3x7-pcfv, GHSA-hvrp-rf83-w775, GHSA-jpw9-pfvf-9f58, ...); update mcp to 1.30.0 or later
- pass `deps.resolvable`: serena-agent@1.5.3 resolved: 69 packages

- tools: unknown
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.oraios/serena.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.oraios/serena)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.
