Endpoint Security83
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 890 tokens (~178/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the ai.kaiv/dependency-trust MCP server?

ai.kaiv/dependency-trust is a hosted endpoint at https://api.kaiv.ai/api/bridge/mcp/dependency-trust-f1aaf06d, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

MCP tools · 5 exposed · ~789 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
get_advisory ~154

Get a security advisory (vulnerability) by its key. Returns a security advisory by key, for example a GHSA id taken from a version's advisoryKeys, including the title, CVE aliases, CVSS v3 score and vector, and a link to the full record on osv.dev. Use this only when you already have an advisory ID from get_package_version's advisoryKeys. There is no search here. To find out whether a version has vulnerabilities at all, call get_package_version first; this tool explains one advisory in depth.

NameTypeReqDescription
advisoryKeystringyesAdvisory id, e.g. 'GHSA-29mw-wpgm-hmr9' (taken from a version's advisoryKeys).

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_dependencies ~137

Get the resolved dependency graph for one package version. Returns the full resolved dependency graph (direct and indirect) for a version. Each node has the dependency's exact version and its relation (SELF / DIRECT / INDIRECT). Use it to reason about transitive dependencies and supply chain.

NameTypeReqDescription
packagestringyesPackage name, raw and unencoded (the gateway URL-encodes it). Use scoped or namespaced names as-is, e.g. npm '@angular/core', Maven 'group:artifact'.
systemstringyesPackage ecosystem.
versionstringyesExact version string, e.g. '18.2.0'.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_package ~122

List every version of a package and whether each is deprecated. Returns all published versions of a package with publish date, the default-version flag, and deprecation status. Use it to find the latest version or check if a package is deprecated. Coding agents should call this before recommending a package or version.

NameTypeReqDescription
packagestringyesPackage name, raw and unencoded (the gateway URL-encodes it). Use scoped or namespaced names as-is, e.g. npm '@angular/core', Maven 'group:artifact'.
systemstringyesPackage ecosystem.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_package_version ~153

Get license, security advisories, and source links for one package version. Returns detailed metadata for a single version: SPDX licenses, security advisoryKeys (known vulnerabilities), homepage/issue-tracker/source-repo links, registries, publish date, and deprecation status. Pass any advisoryKey returned here to get_advisory for the vulnerability details.

NameTypeReqDescription
packagestringyesPackage name, raw and unencoded (the gateway URL-encodes it). Use scoped or namespaced names as-is, e.g. npm '@angular/core', Maven 'group:artifact'.
systemstringyesPackage ecosystem.
versionstringyesExact version string, e.g. '18.2.0'.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_project_health ~223

Get a project's OpenSSF Scorecard security posture and maintenance signals. THE trust check. Returns supply-chain trust signals for a package's source repository: the OpenSSF Scorecard overall score (0-10) and per-check results (Maintained, Code-Review, Signed-Releases, Branch-Protection, Pinned-Dependencies, Dangerous-Workflow, Token-Permissions, Security-Policy, Vulnerabilities, ...), plus stars, forks, open-issue count, and license. Use it to judge whether a dependency is actively maintained and securely operated, not just whether it has a known CVE. Get the projectKey from a version's SOURCE_REPO link (call get_package_version first), e.g. 'github.com/facebook/react'.

NameTypeReqDescription
projectKeystringyesSource repository, raw and unencoded (the gateway URL-encodes it). Pass it as-is, e.g. 'github.com/facebook/react'. Supported hosts: github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org. Take it from a version's SO…

Common questions

What is the ai.kaiv/dependency-trust MCP server?

ai.kaiv/dependency-trust is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as ai.kaiv/dependency-trust. Trust-check any dependency for agents: OpenSSF Scorecard, licenses, CVEs, deps. 7 ecosystems. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.kaiv.ai/api/bridge/mcp/dependency-trust-f1aaf06d).

Is the ai.kaiv/dependency-trust MCP server safe to use?

ai.kaiv/dependency-trust scores 89 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the ai.kaiv/dependency-trust MCP server expose?

ai.kaiv/dependency-trust exposes 5 tools: get_advisory, get_dependencies, get_package, get_package_version, get_project_health. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 789 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the ai.kaiv/dependency-trust MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to ai.kaiv/dependency-trust without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the ai.kaiv/dependency-trust MCP server still maintained?

ai.kaiv/dependency-trust is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
