Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog) Scored 2026-10-17. - **Supply Chain Security**: 0/100 - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package. - Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read. - Install-script risk not yet assessed. - Dependency health could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read. - **Provenance & Transparency**: 100/100 - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to basitalisandhu/dev-mcp-servers). - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT). - Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago). - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md). - **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 66/100 - AI-judged instruction clarity (good). - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 715 tokens (~178/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100 - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses. - **Tool Coverage**: 90/100 - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name). - 70% of tool parameters carry a description. - **Tool Safety**: 100/100 - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured. - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation. - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it. - **Capabilities**: 100/100 - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28. **Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm. ## Install ### How do I install the OSV Advisories MCP server? OSV Advisories runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/basitalisandhu/mcp-osv-advisories:0.2.1.

Each advisory carries its id, aliases such as CVE ids, summary, severity, affected ranges, fixed versions and reference URLs. Calls POST https://api.osv.dev/v1/query. Input parameters: - `ecosystem` (string, required): OSV ecosystem name, case-insensitive. One of: AlmaLinux, Alpine, Android, Bioconductor, Bitnami, Chainguard, ConanCenter, CRAN, crates.io, Debian, GHC, GitHub Actions, Go, Hackage, Hex, Linux, Mageia… - `name` (string, required): Package name as the ecosystem spells it (npm scope included, Go module path, PyPI project name). - `version` (string): Exact installed version. For Go, with or without the leading v. ### `query_batch` (~70 tokens) Query OSV for many packages Return, for each package in the list (up to 1000), the ids of OSV advisories that affect it. Ids only; call get_vulnerability for details. Calls POST https://api.osv.dev/v1/querybatch in chunks of 100. Input parameters: - `packages` (array, required) ### `scan_lockfile` (~220 tokens) Scan a lockfile against OSV Parse a lockfile and batch-query OSV for every exactly pinned dependency in it. Supported formats: package-lock.json (lockfileVersion 1 to 3), requirements.txt (only == pins are queried; other specifiers are listed as skipped), poetry.lock and go.sum (basic: every module line, leading v removed). Supply either path (a local file up to 10485760 bytes) or content (the file text). Format is detected from the file name and content unless given. Returns the packages with advisories, the ids per package, the skipped entries and counts. With include_details, fetches up to 20 advisories in full. Input parameters: - `content` (string): Lockfile text, as an alternative to path. - `filename` (string): Original file name, used for format detection when content is supplied. - `format` (string) - `include_details` (boolean): Also fetch the first 20 advisories in full. Default false. - `path` (string): Path to the lockfile on this machine. ### `get_vulnerability` (~87 tokens) Get one OSV advisory Fetch one advisory by OSV id (for example GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx, PYSEC-2023-1, GO-2024-1234, or a CVE id that OSV aliases). Returns the summary plus the raw OSV record. Calls GET https://api.osv.dev/v1/vulns/{id}. Input parameters: - `id` (string, required) ## Diagnostics Captured diagnostic sections: Provenance.

OSV Advisories is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.basitalisandhu/mcp-osv-advisories. Query OSV.dev for known vulnerabilities by package and version, and scan lockfiles in batch. This page covers its container image (ghcr.io/basitalisandhu/mcp-osv-advisories). ### Is the OSV Advisories MCP server safe to use? OSV Advisories scores 50 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 OSV Advisories MCP server expose? OSV Advisories exposes 4 tools: query_package, query_batch, scan_lockfile, get_vulnerability. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 607 tokens of context every time the server is loaded. ### Is the OSV Advisories MCP server still maintained? OSV Advisories is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 17 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced. ### What licence is the OSV Advisories MCP server under? OSV Advisories declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls. ## Links - GitHub Container Registry: https://ghcr.io/basitalisandhu/mcp-osv-advisories - Repository: https://github.com/basitalisandhu/dev-mcp-servers - Website: https://basitalisandhu.github.io/dev-mcp-servers/ - Changelog RSS feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/basitalisandhu-mcp-osv-advisories/ghcr-io-basitalisandhu-mcp-osv-advisories.xml - Changelog JSON feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/basitalisandhu-mcp-osv-advisories/ghcr-io-basitalisandhu-mcp-osv-advisories.json - HTML version of this page: https://verifymcp.io/servers/basitalisandhu-mcp-osv-advisories/ghcr-io-basitalisandhu-mcp-osv-advisories
