## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. 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 2026-09-26.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 98/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 40 of 138 dependencies flagged as unhealthy (1 deprecated).
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 19/100
  - Repository check failed: no source repository is declared.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 2 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 80/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 286 tokens (~95/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-25 (score 66, 0)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-24 (score 66, +15)

- [security improvement] Malware scan: unverified → pass

### 2026-09-23 (score 51)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `scan_code` (~105 tokens)

Scan source code for security vulnerabilities using XploitScan's 214 rules tuned for AI-generated code. Returns a list of findings with rule ID, severity, file, line, description, and fix suggestion. Use this when the user asks you to check code for security issues, or before you write code to a file.

Input parameters:

- `files` (array, required): The files to scan. Pass an array of { path, content } objects — typically the files you just wrote or about to write.

### `explain_rule` (~104 tokens)

Look up the description, severity, OWASP category, CWE, and remediation guidance for a specific XploitScan rule by its rule ID (e.g. 'VC005' for unprotected Stripe webhooks, 'VC006' for SQL injection). Use this when a user asks what a specific finding means or how to fix it.

Input parameters:

- `ruleId` (string, required): The XploitScan rule ID, e.g. 'VC005', 'VC006', 'VC132'.

### `grade_code` (~77 tokens)

Scan code AND compute a security grade (A+ through F) with a score (0-100) and summary. Use this as a single-call 'is this code safe to ship' check — typically after generating a feature or before committing.

Input parameters:

- `files` (array, required): The files to grade. Same shape as scan_code's files parameter.

## Common questions

### What is the XploitScan MCP server?

XploitScan is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.bgage72590/xploitscan-mcp. Security scanner for AI-generated code. Scan, explain rules, and grade before you ship. This page covers its npm package (xploitscan-mcp).

### Is the XploitScan MCP server safe to use?

XploitScan scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 26 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 XploitScan MCP server expose?

XploitScan exposes 3 tools: scan_code, explain_rule, grade_code. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 286 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the XploitScan MCP server still maintained?

XploitScan is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 26 September 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 XploitScan MCP server under?

XploitScan declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
