Replace npm install -g with a local install (npm install --save-dev) or use npx with a pinned version. Global installs modify the system and risk supply chain attacks.

Likely FP if the global install is for a well-known CLI tool (e.g., typescript, eslint) in setup documentation, though the supply chain risk remains real.

Pin the npx package in the MCP config to an exact version (e.g., @scope/server@1.2.3). Unpinned npx commands can silently fetch a compromised package version.

Likely FP if the MCP config is a local development setup example, though unpinned npx in production configs is a real supply chain risk.

Remove the -y/--yes auto-confirm flag from MCP server launch arguments. This flag bypasses user confirmation prompts and allows unattended execution of potentially dangerous operations.

Likely FP if the matched text is an isolated flag (-y or --yes) in documentation describing command-line options, not in an actual MCP config.

Remove shell metacharacters (semicolons, pipes, ampersands, backticks) from MCP server arguments. Use explicit argument arrays and avoid shell expansion in MCP configurations.

Likely FP if the metacharacter is a literal part of a non-shell argument (e.g., a regex pattern or a URL query parameter containing ampersands).
