| Bottom line | mcp-open-library is distributed via npm (mcp-open-library); review its source code, dependencies, and requested permissions before use. | Use this tool only with non-sensitive construction documents, verify all takeoffs manually before relying on them, and keep it on isolated machines without access to other company systems or networks. |
