| Bottom line | This tool requires trusted access to real email credentials and subscriber databases, so use it only in controlled environments and verify the code has been reviewed before handling sensitive data. | claude-cup (MCP server) requires careful permission scoping — credential exposure: Likely requires contest API credentials or authentication tokens; verify they are scoped narrowly and never committed to version control. |
