Risks to watch for
- Dependency & version pinning: Distributed via GitHub (rcontesti/IB_MCP). Pin an exact release version or commit SHA rather than floating tags so upstream updates are reviewed first.
How to lower the risk
Least-privilege permissions
- Give it access only to the specific folders, accounts or projects it needs, never your whole drive or admin account.
- Use a separate, limited API key or login just for this tool so you can switch it off without affecting anything else.
Network isolation
- Run it on a work computer or sandbox account, not one holding personal or company-sensitive data.
- If your IT team can, limit which websites and services it is allowed to contact.
Monitoring
- Check its activity history or logs weekly at first, and look at what it changed or sent.
- Turn on alerts for new logins or unusual usage on any account it connects to.
Red flags to watch for
- It asks for more access than its job requires, or prompts you to paste passwords.
- It suddenly updates with new owners, or starts contacting unfamiliar websites.
