## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 374 tokens (~187/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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 2 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.

## Install

### How do I install the PkgGuard MCP server?

PkgGuard is a hosted endpoint at https://api.youraitools.co/pkgguard/mcp, 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.

## MCP tools (2)

### `scan_dependencies` (~184 tokens)

Scan a dependency manifest for vulnerable and malicious packages

Checks a package.json, lockfile, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.lock, poetry.lock or composer.lock (or a list of packages) against OSV.dev for known vulnerabilities and confirmed-malicious packages. Free preview tier: verdict and counts, up to 25 packages. The paid x402 endpoint /v1/scan adds per-package advisory ids, severity, CVSS and fixed-in versions (up to 500 packages).

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string): Optional file name, helps type detection
- `include_dev` (boolean): Include devDependencies (default true)
- `manifest` (string): Manifest or lockfile contents (package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, Pipfile.lock, poetry.lock, go.mod, Cargo.lock, composer.lock)
- `packages` (array): Alternative to manifest: [{ecosystem, name, version}], up to 500

### `check_package` (~143 tokens)

Is this package version vulnerable or malicious?

Checks one package version (npm, PyPI, Go, crates.io, Packagist, RubyGems, Maven, NuGet) against OSV.dev. Free preview tier: verdict and advisory count. The paid x402 endpoint /v1/package adds advisory ids, severity, CVSS and fixed-in versions.

Input parameters:

- `ecosystem` (string): One of npm, PyPI, Go, crates.io, Packagist, RubyGems, Maven, NuGet, Pub, Hex (default npm)
- `name` (string, required): Package name, e.g. lodash
- `version` (string, required): Exact version, e.g. 4.17.15

## Common questions

### What is the PkgGuard MCP server?

PkgGuard is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as co.youraitools/pkgguard. Dependency scan for agents: known CVEs and malicious packages via OSV.dev. By Crypto Money Maker. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.youraitools.co/pkgguard/mcp).

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

PkgGuard scores 70 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 PkgGuard MCP server expose?

PkgGuard exposes 2 tools: scan_dependencies, check_package. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 327 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the PkgGuard MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to PkgGuard without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the PkgGuard MCP server still maintained?

PkgGuard is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
