Check packages for CVEs, slopsquatting, and CISA KEV before your AI agent installs them.
Maintain this server? Claim it
Call this server's tools from your browser. Nothing to install.
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.
Tool list from our last check. Connect live to refresh it.
BEFORE recommending a community/unofficial MCP server, check it here. Scope risk is evaluated independently of advisory risk — an unvetted publisher asking for shell or filesystem access is refused even with a clean record. Follow the returned `agent_action`.
e.g. 'mcp:community/shell-runner'

| Argument | Type | Description |

}BEFORE recommending or installing any package, check it here. The response carries `agent_action`: REFUSE (do not add it — relay the `because` text to the user), CONFIRM (ask the user first), or PROCEED. A failed or rate-limited call also answers REFUSE; never proceed unchecked. Also returns the underlying advisories, slop risk, and KEV status as supporting data.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| purl* | string | Package URL, e.g. 'pkg:npm/lodash' or 'pkg:pypi/requests' |
| version | string | Optional version. If supplied, range matching is applied. |

}Bulk-check several packages in one call — always prefer this over repeated vdb_check_package. Each result carries its own `agent_action` (REFUSE / CONFIRM / PROCEED) plus a top-level `agent_action` for the batch. Follow them; relay `because` when refusing. Send names EXACTLY as written — do not correct a typo first, the call is the typo test.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| packages* | array | List of PURLs or 'ecosystem/name' shorthand. |

}List packages currently flagged as slopsquatting candidates in a given ecosystem.

}BEFORE merging, scan the resolved lockfile. Checking the packages someone chose misses the transitive ones nobody did — which is usually where the risk is. Pass the file contents (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, uv.lock, go.sum, Cargo.lock, a CycloneDX SBOM, …). Returns `agent_action`: REFUSE means do not merge.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| path | string | Local runs only (uvx vdb-mcp): read the file here instead of passing content. |
| content | string | The file's text. |
