About archive-zip-unzip-bomb-guard
archive-zip-unzip-bomb-guard is an MCP server published by bestremotetools.com. Pack a folder with a glob, look inside an archive, unpack it with bomb, traversal and symlink guards

It asks for one secret: MCP_LICENSE_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.
