Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Scan any public GitHub MCP-server repo for security issues. 37 MCP-specific L1 rules, 8 languages.

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 in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Developer tools

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http compuute-scan-api https://scan.compuute.se/mcp/

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compuute-scan-api": {
      "url": "https://scan.compuute.se/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": {
    "compuute-scan-api": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://scan.compuute.se/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.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Common questions

Is Compuute MCP Security Scanner 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

compuute-scan-api

Scan-as-a-Service for MCP servers. HTTP + MCP wrapper around compuute-scan — the MCP-specific static security scanner. Designed for agent-callable consumption.

POST a public GitHub repo URL → get a structured security report scored against 38 MCP-specific rules across 8 languages (TS/JS, Python, Go, Rust, C#, Java, Kotlin).

Honesty note (read first): compuute-scan is a pattern-breadth detector, not an exploitability oracle. Historic false-positive rate after manual validation is ~90% on raw output (verified against modelcontextprotocol/servers: 138 raw findings → 13 confirmed). Every response carries a _disclaimer field stating this explicitly. Use findings as a triage queue, not as a list of confirmed vulnerabilities. See docs/FP-RATES.md for per-rule transparency.

Live at https://scan.compuute.se. Service version reported by /v1/health.

x402 payment env vars (all optional locally; /v1/scan/pay returns 503 until the wallet is set):

VarPurposeDefault
X402_WALLET_ADDRESSBase L2 address receiving USDCunset (x402 disabled)
X402_NETWORKCAIP-2 network id — eip155:8453 (Base mainnet) or eip155:84532 (Base Sepolia)eip155:8453
X402_PRICE_USDPrice per scan0.10
X402_FACILITATOR_URLFacilitator base URLCDP facilitator (serves both networks)
CDP_API_KEY_ID / CDP_API_KEY_SECRETCDP API key for facilitator verify/settle authunset (verify will be rejected)
Rehearsing payments on testnet

Set X402_NETWORK=eip155:84532 to quote prices in Base Sepolia USDC, which is free from a faucet. The CDP facilitator serves Sepolia too, so a testnet payment exercises the real verify/settle path and your real CDP API keys — without moving real money.

Asset address and EIP-712 domain are selected together per network: Base mainnet USDC signs as "USD Coin", Base Sepolia as "USDC". Mixing them fails every signature with an error that looks like a bad API key, which is why they live in one NETWORKS table rather than separate env vars.

Mainnet is the default and an unknown value falls back to it, so a typo can never silently ask real agents to pay in worthless testnet USDC. Check which mode is live with curl -s https://scan.compuute.se/v1/health — the x402 block reports network and testnet.

Architecture

  • api/services/scan.py — clone + sandbox + scan + parse. Pure functions.
  • api/services/x402_service.py — x402 v2 verify / settle on the official x402 SDK; CDP facilitator (Base mainnet) by default; Bazaar discovery extension in 402 bodies.
  • api/services/cdp_auth.py — minimal CDP API-key JWT auth for the facilitator (PyJWT + cryptography; avoids the full cdp-sdk).
  • api/serializers/scan_serializer.py — Pydantic models, strict validation.
  • api/routes/scan.py — HTTP layer for /v1/scan: idempotency, cache, ETag.
  • api/routes/scan_x402.py — HTTP layer for /v1/scan/pay.
  • api/routes/discovery.py — /.well-known/*, /robots.txt, /sitemap.xml.
  • api/mcp_server.py — FastMCP server exposing scan_mcp_server.
  • main.py — FastAPI wiring + middleware (security headers, CORS).

Bundled compuute-scan version is pinned in the Dockerfile (ARG COMPUUTE_SCAN_REF=v0.6.2).
