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 Security50
  • Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 1 of 26 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency6
Schema Quality & AI Usability74
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1066 tokens (~133/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management70
  • Stability observed for 21 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
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

How do I install the io.github.securityscan-api/securityscan MCP server?

io.github.securityscan-api/securityscan runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx securityscan-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~1,066 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_mcp_server_config ~126

Audit an MCP client configuration for security risks — works offline, no external service required. Detects: tool poisoning, hidden/coercive instructions in tool descriptions, hardcoded credentials, unpinned packages (rug-pull risk), insecure transport, and toxic capability combinations (shell + network, file-read + network).

NameTypeReqDescription
config_jsonstringyesThe FULL JSON content of the MCP config file as a string (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json). Paste the file content, not the path.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

check_dependencies ~76

Check the health of your agent's external dependencies: uptime, SSL validity, blacklist status, and a trust score 0-100 (DepScan).

NameTypeReqDescription
endpointsarrayyesList of URLs your agent/skill depends on, e.g. ["https://api.openai.com", "https://api.stripe.com"]
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

full_stack_audit ~214

Complete security posture in one call: audits the MCP config, checks dependency health, analyzes an untrusted skill, scans the local network gateway, and scans any payload you're about to send out for secrets/PII — then correlates everything into a single prioritized report. Pass only what you have; each section is skipped gracefully if its input or service is missing.

NameTypeReqDescription
dependency_endpointsURLs your stack depends on (optional)
mcp_config_jsonstringMCP config content as string (optional)
network_authorizedbooleanREQUIRED to scan network_target. Set True to certify you own or have permission to scan it. (optional, default False)
network_targetstringIP to scan, e.g. "192.168.1.1" (optional)
skill_urlstringuntrusted skill to vet (optional)
text_to_scanstringpayload to vet for secret/PII egress (optional)
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

network_scan ~193

Active security scan of a device or host with an autonomous AI agent that decides which follow-up probes to run (ActiveScanner). Only scan targets you own or have permission to test.

NameTypeReqDescription
authorizedbooleanyesREQUIRED. You must set this to True to certify that you own the target or have explicit permission to test it. Setting it to False (or omitting it) aborts the scan. Scanning without…
scan_typestring"quick" (~30s, top ports) [default], "standard" (~2min, agent loop), "deep" (~10min, full ports + credentials check)
targetstringyesIP, CIDR, or hostname. Examples: "192.168.1.1", "10.0.0.0/24"
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

scan_secrets ~186

Scan a text payload (a prompt, an outbound API body, a file's contents) for secrets and PII BEFORE it leaves for an LLM or external API, and return a redacted copy. Catches the #1 real-world agent incident: secrets/PII leaking into a model's context. WORKS OFFLINE with no API key — the detection runs in-process (pure regex + Luhn check, no network). If a SecretScan backend key IS configured, the scan is routed there instead (which also persists an audit record).

NameTypeReqDescription
redactbooleanIf True (default), each match is replaced with a token like [REDACTED-KEY] / [REDACTED-EMAIL]. If False, only reports.
textstringyesThe payload to inspect (prompt, request body, document text).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

scan_skill ~60

Analyze an AI agent skill for prompt injection, malware patterns, and OWASP LLM Top 10 issues BEFORE installing it (SecurityScan).

NameTypeReqDescription
skill_urlstringyesURL of the skill to analyze (e.g. a GitHub skill URL).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

securityscan_checkout ~128

Start a Stripe checkout to buy a SecurityScan tier (agent-native sales). Returns a payment URL to hand to your user AND a PENDING API key that activates automatically once payment clears — no other setup step.

NameTypeReqDescription
emailstringoptional — prefills the Stripe checkout page for your user
existing_keystringoptional — upgrade an existing ask_live_ key instead of minting a new one
tierstringyesone of "founder" ($29 one-time), "personal", "executive", "enterprise" (monthly)
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

securityscan_pricing ~83

SecurityScan catalog: tiers, prices, quotas and the evidence behind the product — the fact sheet an agent needs to evaluate or recommend a purchase to its user. Fully offline, no API key required. Returns: JSON with the tier table (price / target slots / scan types), the pricing model, benchmark evidence, and how to buy.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

What tools does the io.github.securityscan-api/securityscan MCP server expose?

io.github.securityscan-api/securityscan exposes 8 tools: scan_skill, check_dependencies, network_scan, audit_mcp_server_config, scan_secrets, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,066 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.securityscan-api/securityscan MCP server still maintained?

io.github.securityscan-api/securityscan is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
