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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security81

MCP tools · 20 exposed · ~1,114 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 →

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

claim ~73

declare_mission ~131

Common questions

What is the io.github.dir-ai/repotector MCP server?

io.github.dir-ai/repotector is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.dir-ai/repotector. The repo guardian AI agents handshake with before they touch your code. This page covers its npm package (repotector).

Is the io.github.dir-ai/repotector MCP server safe to use?

io.github.dir-ai/repotector scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 6 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 io.github.dir-ai/repotector MCP server expose?

io.github.dir-ai/repotector exposes 20 tools: handshake, unlock, depart, register, city_map, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,114 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.dir-ai/repotector MCP server still maintained?

io.github.dir-ai/repotector is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 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 io.github.dir-ai/repotector MCP server under?

io.github.dir-ai/repotector declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

What did VerifyMCP test on the io.github.dir-ai/repotector MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on io.github.dir-ai/repotector, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
