Available components
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 →
Supply Chain Security86
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 167 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 551 tokens (~91/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
- Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

- 3 Aug 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Dependencies 94 packages
94 packages in the resolved dependency tree · 94 deprecated · 29 stale.
The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.
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.
forage_evaluate ~59
Get detailed information about a specific package — version, downloads, README summary, install command. Use this before installing to verify quality.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| packageName | string | yes | npm package name to evaluate (e.g. '@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres') |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
forage_install ~163
Install an MCP server and start it as a proxied subprocess. The server's tools become available immediately via Forage — no restart needed. IMPORTANT: Set confirm=true to proceed with installation (user will be prompted to approve the tool call).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| args | array | — | Arguments for the command. Defaults to ['-y', packageName]. |
| command | string | — | Command to run the server. Defaults to 'npx'. |
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be true to proceed with installation. This is a safety gate — the user will see and approve the tool call. |
| env | object | — | Environment variables to pass to the server process. |
| packageName | string | yes | npm package name to install (e.g. '@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem') |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
forage_learn ~135
Write usage instructions for an installed tool to agent rule files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules/). This persists knowledge across sessions so the agent remembers how to use the tool next time.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| rules | string | yes | Markdown-formatted usage instructions for the agent. Include: when to use the tool, key commands/patterns, any required env vars or config. |
| target | string | — | Specific file path to write to. If omitted, auto-detects based on which agent is in use. |
| toolName | string | yes | Name of the tool (as shown in forage_status) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
forage_search ~86
Search for MCP servers and tools across registries (Official MCP Registry, Smithery, npm). Describe what capability you need and get ranked results.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Natural language description of the capability you need (e.g. 'query postgres database', 'search slack messages', 'manage github issues') |
| sources | array | — | Which registries to search. Defaults to all. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
forage_status ~38
List all tools that Forage has installed and is currently proxying. Shows which servers are running, what tools they provide, and their install status.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
forage_uninstall ~70
Remove a previously installed tool. Stops the server, removes from manifest, and cleans up agent rules. Set confirm=true to proceed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirm | boolean | — | Must be true to proceed with uninstallation. |
| name | string | yes | Name of the installed tool to remove (as shown in forage_status) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
