Let AI Review and Install

Not sure if this MCP is safe? Send the following prompt to your AI assistant to review the source code before installing:

Copy the prompt below and paste it to your AI assistant (replace <project-path> and <your-token> with actual values):

Please help me review and install the opennews-mcp MCP server. The project is at <project-path>.

Steps:
1. Review the security of the following files:
   - src/opennews_mcp/api_client.py — Confirm it only connects to ai.6551.io, no data sent elsewhere
   - src/opennews_mcp/config.py — Confirm token is only read from local config.json or env vars, not hardcoded or leaked
   - src/opennews_mcp/tools/*.py — Confirm all tools only do API queries, no file writes, command execution, or dangerous operations
   - pyproject.toml — Confirm dependencies are only mcp, httpx, websockets, no suspicious packages
2. Tell me your conclusion: Safe / Risky / Problematic, and the specific reasons
3. If safe, help me install (Token from https://6551.io/mcp):
   claude mcp add opennews -e OPENNEWS_TOKEN=<your-token> -- uv --directory <project-path> run opennews-mcp
