Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Check dependency names against popular package names at small edit distance.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "typosquat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/typosquat",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add typosquat -- npx -y @reneturcios/typosquat mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "typosquat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/typosquat",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "typosquat": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/typosquat",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Typosquat safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 7 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, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

typosquat

A typosquat checker for a dependency list. It reads the package.json of a project, collects every dependency name from dependencies, devDependencies, peerDependencies and optionalDependencies, and compares each name against a bundled list of popular npm package names. A dependency that is not itself a popular package but closely resembles one is flagged as a possible typosquat, with the popular package it resembles named as evidence.

The check is fully offline and deterministic: no network calls, no timestamps, findings sorted by dependency name.

Install

npx @reneturcios/typosquat check .

Or install it globally:

npm install -g @reneturcios/typosquat

typosquat check .

CLI

typosquat check [path] [--json]

typosquat mcp typosquat --version

  • check [path]: check the project at path (a directory containing a package.json, or a direct path to a package.json file). Defaults to the current directory. Add --json for the machine readable report.
  • mcp: run the MCP server over stdio.
  • --version: print the version.

Exit codes: 0 when the verdict is CLEAR, 1 when the verdict is SUSPECT, 2 for usage errors and for a missing or invalid package.json.

Example human output:

typosquat 0.1.0

Target: . Verdict: SUSPECT Dependencies checked: 5 Flagged: 1 Summary: Checked 5 dependencies; 1 flagged as possible typosquats. Findings:

  • [HIGH] DISTANCE-1: Dependency "axioss" resembles popular package "axios" (edit distance 1) (evidence: axios)

MCP

The MCP server exposes one tool:

  • check_typosquat with a path argument. It returns the same report as the CLI --json output: tool name, version, target, verdict, counts (depsChecked, flagged), findings and a summary.

Matching rules

Names are normalized by lowercasing before comparison. A dependency that is itself in the popular list is never flagged. For every other dependency, the strongest matching rule wins:

  • SEPARATOR-SQUAT (high severity): the dependency name equals a popular name once hyphens, underscores and dots are stripped from both names, but the raw names differ. Example: node_fetch vs node-fetch.
  • DISTANCE-1 (high severity): Levenshtein edit distance 1 from a popular name. Example: axioss vs axios.
  • DISTANCE-2 (medium severity): Levenshtein edit distance 2 from a popular name whose length is 9 or more characters. Short names are excluded at distance 2 because too many unrelated short names sit within two edits of each other. Example: typescrpit vs typescript.

Scope confusion is not checked: an unscoped dependency that equals only the unscoped part of a scoped popular name (for example client vs @prisma/client) is too weak a signal to flag.

Verdict

  • CLEAR: no dependency resembled a popular package name.
  • SUSPECT: at least one dependency was flagged.

Limits

  • The popular package list is a snapshot dated 2026-10-25, written from knowledge of the npm ecosystem. It will drift: new packages become popular and old ones fade, and a snapshot cannot track that.
  • Edit distance catches typos, not every squatting style. It does not catch combosquats (a popular name combined with an extra word, such as axios-helper), homoglyph or bit squats, or scope tricks beyond the separator rule above.
  • The checker reads names only. It does not inspect package contents, maintainers, download counts or publish history, so it cannot judge malicious intent.
  • A flag is a resemblance, not an accusation. Legitimate packages can sit one edit away from a popular name. Treat every finding as a prompt to look, not as proof of wrongdoing.
