MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~2,255 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 →

Tool Tokens
audit ~259

Audit the CURRENT dependency set of a project — not a change: every lockfile under the directory is checked in full (a .lockvetignore file there is honoured). Reports each pinned version that is affected by a known advisory (OSV.dev), missing from its registry's index (what an unpublished or pulled — often malicious — release looks like), deprecated/retracted/yanked/abandoned upstream, or published only days ago. Run it to answer "is anything we currently depend on known-bad?" — e.g. after news of a supply-chain attack, or as a periodic hygiene check.

NameTypeReqDescription
dirstring–directory to audit (walked recursively; node_modules/vendor/.git skipped; default: current directory)
formatstring–output format (default "markdown")
fresh_daysinteger–flag versions published fewer than N days ago (default 7; 0 shows ages but never flags)
offlineboolean–skip all network lookups (no vulnerability, age, or deprecation data)
onlystring–only report packages whose name — or any package in their "via" chain — matches this pattern (glob, case-insensitive, comma list ok, e.g. "@babel/*")

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

queue ~350

Vet EVERY open dependency-update PR/MR of a repo, user, org, group, workspace, or project in one table, sorted most-alarming first: which introduce vulnerabilities, which are major or brand-new bumps, which look routine. Scope: a GitHub owner or owner/repo, or a GitLab / Gitea / Bitbucket / Azure DevOps URL (e.g. gitlab.com/gitlab-org, codeberg.org/forgejo, bitbucket.org/atlassian, dev.azure.com/ORG/PROJECT). Defaults to Dependabot+Renovate authors; bot usernames vary on self-hosted forges — pass author to override, or "any" for every open PR touching a lockfile.

NameTypeReqDescription
authorstring–bot accounts to search for (comma list; "any" = every open PR/MR that touches a lockfile)
formatstring–output format (default "markdown")
fresh_daysinteger–flag versions published fewer than N days ago (default 7; 0 shows ages but never flags)
limitinteger–vet at most N pull/merge requests (default 30)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

vet_files ~295

Explain the dependency changes between two files on disk, no git needed: two lockfiles (any of the 61 supported formats; one side may carry a suffix, e.g. Cargo.lock.orig vs Cargo.lock) or two CycloneDX/SPDX JSON SBOMs under any filename — e.g. syft scans of two container images.

onlystring–only report packages whose name — or any package in their "via" chain — matches this pattern (glob, case-insensitive, comma list ok, e.g. "@babel/*")

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

vet_git ~345

Explain the lockfile/dependency changes in a local git repository: working tree vs HEAD by default, or any revision range (base=HEAD~5, or base=main target=my-branch). Same report as vet_url: bumps with semver severity, vulnerabilities introduced/fixed, release ages, deprecations, license changes, via-chains. A .lockvetignore file in the repo (acknowledged findings) is honoured. Run it before committing or merging a dependency update.

NameTypeReqDescription
basestring–base revision (default "HEAD"); ranges like "main...topic" work too
changelogsboolean–also fetch upstream release notes for every bump, including the releases a multi-version jump skips over (GitHub Releases first, then the repo's CHANGELOG/CHANGES/NEWS/HISTORY file at the verified ta…
dirstring–path to the git repository (default: current directory)

targetstring–target revision (default: working tree)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

vet_package ~481

Vet one or more packages BEFORE they are in any lockfile — the moment you are deciding whether to npm install / pip install / cargo add them. Reports known advisories affecting the version (OSV.dev, including MAL malicious-package records), release age (brand-new releases are higher-risk), deprecation/retraction/yank status with the upstream reason, versions missing from the registry index (what an unpublished or pulled — often malicious — release looks like), and typosquat suspicion (names one edit from a popular package). Specs look like eco:name[@version] — npm:left-pad, pypi:requests@2.32.0, cargo:serde, go:github.com/gin-gonic/gin, maven:com.google.guava:guava, jsr:@std/http, swift:Alamofire/Alamofire. With no version, the registry's latest is looked up (npm, PyPI, crates.io, RubyGems, Packagist, Go, Hex, Pub, JSR, NuGet, Maven, CocoaPods, Terraform, conda, CRAN, Hackage, Bazel, Helm charts (helm:<repo-url>/<chart>), Ansible Galaxy (ansible:namespace.name — collections and classic roles), GitHub Actions, Swift, pre-commit:owner/repo hook repos, component:host/project/name GitLab CI components, orb:namespace/name CircleCI orbs, vcpkg:<port> vcpkg ports, tool:node / tool:terraform asdf-mise tools verified against the tool's own repository tags). Run this before adding any new dependency.

vet_url ~525

Explain the lockfile/dependency changes of a pull/merge request, compare range, or commit on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud, Gitea/Forgejo (incl. Codeberg), or Azure DevOps — no clone needed. Reports every added/removed/bumped package with semver severity, vulnerabilities introduced/fixed/unresolved (OSV.dev), release age, deprecations, license changes, unlisted versions, typosquat-suspect additions (new young packages one edit from a popular name), integrity changes on unchanged versions, SwiftPM/workflow/toolchain (.tool-versions, mise.toml) pins verified against upstream tags (moved-tag and not-a-release catches) and private-to-public registry resolution moves (dependency-confusion shape), npm install-script and npm/PyPI/crates.io/RubyGems provenance-dropped transitions (ages/deprecations cover Packagist, hex.pm, pub.dev, jsr.io, CocoaPods, CRAN, Helm chart repositories and Ansible Galaxy too), direct-vs-transitive origin with via-chains, and verified upstream changelog/diff links. Accepts PR/MR URLs, compare URLs, commit URLs, or shorthands like owner/repo#123 (GitHub) and group/project!123 (GitLab). Uses GITHUB_TOKEN / GITLAB_TOKEN / BITBUCKET_TOKEN / GITEA_TOKEN / AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN from the environment when present; public repos work unauthenticated.

Install

How do I install the lockvet MCP server?

lockvet runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i -e GITHUB_TOKEN -e GITLAB_TOKEN -e BITBUCKET_TOKEN -e GITEA_TOKEN -e AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN ghcr.io/matteo-sung/lockvet:0.6.20. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

oci · ghcr.io/matteo-sung/lockvet:0.6.20

# add to Claude Code
claude mcp add matteo-sung-lockvet -- docker run --rm -i -e GITHUB_TOKEN -e GITLAB_TOKEN -e BITBUCKET_TOKEN -e GITEA_TOKEN -e AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN ghcr.io/matteo-sung/lockvet:0.6.20

This image reads GITHUB_TOKEN, GITLAB_TOKEN, BITBUCKET_TOKEN, GITEA_TOKEN and AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN. Set them in your client's env block for this server; docker run -e passes each one through to the container.

Common questions

What is the lockvet MCP server?

lockvet is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.matteo-sung/lockvet. Explain any lockfile or workflow-pin change: bumps, vulns, ages, deprecations, 61 formats. This page covers its container image (ghcr.io/matteo-sung/lockvet:0.6.20).

Is the lockvet MCP server safe to use?

lockvet scores 62 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 lockvet MCP server expose?

lockvet exposes 6 tools: vet_url, vet_git, audit, vet_files, vet_package, queue. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,255 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the lockvet MCP server still maintained?

lockvet is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 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 lockvet MCP server under?

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