Is Haunt safe and trustworthy?

tashan scores Haunt on public evidence — it is currently abandoned, no known advisories against the current release. Audit scope: OSV advisories, install-time scripts, build provenance and declared permission surface. We do not review source code or execute the capability.

How do I install Haunt?

Don't. This capability has been discontinued by its author or publisher and is not scored or recommended. If you are already running it, `npx tashan-cli doctor` will flag it and name what to move to.

Haunt

npm

Any public page to clean JSON or Markdown, plus Reddit with no API key. Failed calls are free.

Works with: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline, Windsurf, VS Code (installable)
installable: each client documents how to load an MCP server of this type — that is the client's promise, not a claim verified against this capability

Discontinued — do not install. The author's own notice: “Any public page to clean JSON or Markdown, plus Reddit with no API key. Failed calls are free.” It stays listed so anyone already running it can find this page, and so npx tashan-cli doctor can warn about it. It is not scored and does not appear in any ranking.

deep

“'Capability boundaries' names the typed failures for login walls, CAPTCHA and paywalls.”

Security audit

Every finding is shown in full — which advisory, the version that fixes it, and the exact command run at install time. Nothing in this audit is behind a licence.

No known advisoriesclearchecked against OSV for 1.1.2 — this package, not its dependency tree

No access inferred from declared dependenciesnothing it depends on reaches files, shell or network. This reads declarations only — built-in APIs are invisible to it, so absence of a declaration is not absence of access

No build provenanceno attestation — the published artifact cannot be traced to its source
