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?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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": {
    "dependency-auditor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add dependency-auditor -- npx -y @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dependency-auditor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "dependency-auditor": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

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

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Dependency Auditor 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 (0.8.1) 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 on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor

An MCP server that audits npm and pip manifests against the OSV database for known CVEs. A single-package lookup also covers PyPI, crates.io, Maven, Go, and RubyGems.

Telemetry is off by default. With GUARDBEE_TELEMETRY=1 it sends the server, tool, success, duration and short parameter values such as a file path; longer strings and fields like content, token or password are replaced with a placeholder. See @guardbee/mcp-telemetry.

Features

OSV API Integration — Google's open-source vulnerability database (free, no authentication required)
npm Support — reads exact versions from package-lock.json / npm-shrinkwrap.json (v1/v2/v3), pnpm-lock.yaml (v5/v6/v9), yarn.lock (v1 and Berry) and bun.lock, falling back to package.json ranges. Transitive packages are included, and dev-only packages are told apart even when the lockfile does not mark them (pnpm v9, yarn, bun)
Rust, Go, Ruby, PHP — Cargo.lock (dev crates from Cargo.toml), go.mod (// indirect and replace aware), Gemfile.lock (platform builds merged, dev groups from the Gemfile) and composer.lock (packages-dev), audited by audit and the audit_directory tool
pip Support — reads exact versions from uv.lock, poetry.lock and Pipfile.lock (dev groups separated), falling back to requirements.txt, requirements/base.txt, requirements/prod.txt, and pyproject.toml
Malicious Package Detection — known-malicious releases (OpenSSF MAL-* entries and advisories classified CWE-506, e.g. the hijacked chalk@5.6.1 / debug@4.4.2 of September 2025) are reported first as critical, with a removal and credential-rotation action, and fail any --fail-on threshold
Exploit Prioritization — findings are enriched with CISA KEV (exploited in the wild, ransomware use) and FIRST EPSS (probability of exploitation in 30 days) and ordered malware → KEV → severity → EPSS. Gate CI on them with --fail-on-kev / --fail-on-epss=<0-1> (--fail-on=none turns the severity gate off). Only CVE IDs are sent; --no-exploit-data or exploit-data: false in guardbee.yml turns it off
Severity Scoring — Critical / High / Medium / Low based on CVSS score or a text heuristic
Fix Plan — one upgrade per package: the smallest listed version that clears *every* advisory (e.g. log4j-core 2.14.1 → 2.25.4 (fixes 7/7)), with advisories that stay open and major-version jumps called out. Per-finding fixes follow the installed release line (next-auth 5.0.0-beta.31 → 5.0.0-beta.32, not 4.24.15), using SemVer, PEP 440 or Maven-style version ordering
CVE Links — direct links to NVD or osv.dev
Dependency Paths — each finding shows how the package gets installed (express@4.21.2 › proxy-addr@2.0.7), and the fix plan names the direct dependency to bump (← via express@4.21.2). Available for package-lock.json v2/v3, pnpm, yarn, bun and uv lockfiles
De-duplicated Findings — advisories that alias each other (GHSA + PYSEC, GHSA + MAL) are merged into one finding; ignore lists match any of their IDs
Tests — unit tests with lockfiles generated by the real package managers and a fake OSV API

Quick Start

npm install -g @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "guardbee-dependency-auditor": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor"] } } }

MCP Tools

Tool	Description
`audit_npm`	Audits npm dependencies (package-lock, pnpm, yarn, bun lockfiles or `package.json`)
`audit_pip`	Audits Python dependencies (uv, Poetry, Pipenv lockfiles or `requirements.txt` / `pyproject.toml`)
`audit_package`	Audits a single package by name, version, and ecosystem
`audit_directory`	Auto-detects and audits all supported manifest files

Example Usage

You can ask Claude:

"Audit my project's npm dependencies: /Users/me/my-app"

"Is there a CVE for lodash 4.17.20?"

"Scan my Python project: /Users/me/django-app"

Example Output

⚠️  Found 3 vulnerabilities in 2/142 npm packages (1243ms)

Critical: 1 High: 1 Medium: 1 Low: 0 Unknown: 0

[CRITICAL] lodash@4.17.20 ID : GHSA-35jh-r3h4-6jhm (CVE-2021-23337) Summary : Command injection via template Fix : upgrade to lodash@4.17.21 Details : https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-23337

Supported Ecosystems

The audit_package tool can query these ecosystems directly:

Ecosystem	Parameter
npm	`npm`
Python	`PyPI`
Rust	`crates.io`
Java	`Maven`
Go	`Go`
Ruby	`RubyGems`

CLI — CI/CD Integration

In addition to MCP server mode, this can also be used directly as a CLI:

# Audit all dependencies in a directory (npm + pip auto-detected)

npx @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor audit ./my-project

npm only

npx @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor audit-npm . --fail-on=critical

pip only

npx @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor audit-pip . --fail-on=high

Single package

npx @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor audit-pkg lodash 4.17.20 npm

JSON output

npx @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor audit . --format=json

Fail only on what attackers actually use: CISA KEV, or EPSS ≥ 10%

npx @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor audit . --fail-on=none --fail-on-kev --fail-on-epss=0.1

Exit codes: 0 = clean · 1 = findings above threshold · 2 = error
