• Paths: Relative paths only
• Security: No hardcoded secrets (use environment variables)
• Validation: Automated review before commits
• Testing: Comprehensive test coverage

Security Best Practices

When working with this tool:

1. Never hardcode API keys or tokens - Use environment variables
2. Use .env files - Add to .gitignore
3. Validate inputs - All user inputs are sanitized
4. Review permissions - Check MCP permissions before installation

Example secure configuration:

// ✅ Good - Using environment variables
const apiKey = process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY;

// ❌ Bad - Hardcoded secrets
const apiKey = "your-api-key-here";
