Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Flagrix for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "flagrix": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "flagrix", "mcp" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Flagrix tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is Flagrix safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 days ago, and the latest version (0.5.1) reached the registry 4 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

flagrix

Scan GitHub repositories and profiles for malware before you clone — from the terminal, CI, or an AI agent. The same commit-pinned verdict as the Flagrix browser extension, made callable.

npx flagrix scan https://github.com/some-org/coding-assignment

  some-org/coding-assignment @ 3f9c2a1

HIGH RISK — Do not clone security score 12/100 3 files scanned · 10 dependencies · 2 issues

CRITICAL Data exfiltration patterns detected: Keylogger Pattern assignment.js:14 14 document.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => send(e.key))

Built after real fake-recruiter campaigns ("coding assignment" repos that steal wallets, SSH keys, and browser sessions) started targeting developers.

Commands

flagrix scan <url | owner/repo>   # scan a repository (--ref <branch|sha>)

flagrix scan-user # score a GitHub profile for scam signals flagrix mcp # MCP server (stdio) for AI agents

Exit codes

code	meaning
0	low risk
1	scan failed
2	medium risk — review before proceeding
3	high risk — do not clone
4	scan incomplete — not enough of the repository was read to give a verdict

--json (automatic when stdout is piped) emits the full result. The verdict is pinned to the scanned commit (commitSha in the JSON): every file is read at that SHA, so a push mid-scan or after the verdict can't silently invalidate it.

Incomplete scans (exit 4)

A repository scan is one tree request plus up to ~200 file reads, and GitHub allows 60 requests an hour without a token. When the budget runs out part way through, the rest of the repository is never looked at — so a "low risk, no findings" result over 30 of 180 files is the absence of looking, not a clean bill of health.

The result says so (scanSummary.complete: false, with scanSummary.incompleteReason of "rate-limit" or "fetch-errors"), the human output withholds the verdict and the score, and the exit code is 4 instead of 0. In CI the exit code is the decision and nobody reads stdout, so a gate on flagrix scan stops here as it does on any non-zero code. Findings are the other way round: evidence found is evidence however little else was read, so a medium or high verdict keeps its own code and the coverage note reads "there may be more".

In --json output, read verdict and coverage rather than riskLevel:

"verdict": "incomplete", "coverage": { "complete": false, "unreliableClear": true, "filesRead": 30, "filesUnread": 150, "reason": "rate-limit" }, "riskLevel": "low", "safeToClone": false, ... }

verdict is "low", "medium", "high", or "incomplete" when a low result rests on files that were never read. It matches the exit code (0 / 2 / 3 / 4).
coverage.unreliableClear is true exactly when verdict is "incomplete"; coverage.complete is false on any partial scan, including a medium or high one. reason is present only when coverage is incomplete.
riskLevel, riskScore and the rest of the engine's result are unchanged, so existing consumers keep working — but riskLevel is the engine's reading of the files it did see, so on an incomplete scan it can still say "low".
safeToClone is kept for compatibility and is now false whenever verdict is "incomplete" (in 0.4.0 and earlier it could be true there). Gate on verdict or the exit code instead.

The MCP tool's JSON block carries the same fields.

Set a token to make this rare: GITHUB_TOKEN raises the budget to 5,000/h.

AI agents

claude mcp add flagrix -- npx -y flagrix mcp

Tools: scan_github_repo, scan_github_user. A Claude Code hook that gates every git clone on a scan ships in hooks/ — see docs/agent-gating.md.

Tokens & rate limits

Unauthenticated scans use GitHub's 60 req/h budget (a scan issues one request per scanned file, up to ~200). Set GITHUB_TOKEN (or FLAGRIX_GITHUB_TOKEN, or --token) to raise it to 5,000/h and to scan private repositories. A scan that runs out of budget reports partial coverage and exits 4 — see Incomplete scans.

Privacy

Fully local. No telemetry, no accounts, no Flagrix backend — the only network calls go to the GitHub/npm APIs and the public detection-rules repository (signature refresh, cached 6 h, with a bundled offline snapshot).

Dependencies are also checked against the OSV malicious-package feed (osv-malicious.json from the same repository: every npm/PyPI package the OpenSSF malicious-packages project has confirmed malicious). The feed is downloaded and matched locally, so dependency names never leave your machine. It is cached 6 h and revalidated with its ETag. Set FLAGRIX_OSV_FEED=0 to skip it (the curated list in the signatures still applies).

How it works

Scanning logic lives in @flagrix/scanner-core (MIT), signatures in flagrix-detection-rules (MIT) — the same engine and rules the browser extension uses. Verdicts are risk assessments, not definitive fraud determinations; always verify through official channels.
