Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Unified OWASP MCP Top 10 scan — path or live tools/list, A–F grade, SARIF

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add owasp-scan -- npx -y @guardbee/mcp-owasp-scan

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

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

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

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.

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 Owasp Scan 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 (0.5.2) reached the registry 5 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-owasp-scan

🇬🇧 English | 🇹🇷 Türkçe | 🇨🇳 中文 | 🇯🇵 日本語 | 🇰🇷 한국어 | 🇧🇷 Português | 🇪🇸 Español | 🇩🇪 Deutsch

One CLI and MCP server for a unified [OWASP MCP Top 10](https://owasp.org/www-project-mcp-top-10/) check. It runs seven GuardBee auditors over a codebase in one pass, or grades a live MCP server's tool list, and reports every finding under its OWASP id with an A–F grade. Output as text, JSON or SARIF for GitHub code scanning.

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.

Quick start

# Static scan of a repository, fail CI on high or critical findings

npx @guardbee/mcp-owasp-scan scan ./src --format=sarif --fail-on=high > owasp.sarif

Connect to a running MCP server and grade its tools

npx @guardbee/mcp-owasp-scan live --url=https://mcp.example.com/mcp npx @guardbee/mcp-owasp-scan live --stdio=npx --arg=-y --arg=@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem --arg=.

Grade a saved tools/list response

npx @guardbee/mcp-owasp-scan catalog ./tools.json --format=json

As an MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code):

{

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

Modes

ModeInputWhat runs
scan A file or directorysecret-scanner, mcp-server-auditor, oauth-auditor, audit-gap-auditor, context-oversharing-auditor, toxic-flow-auditor, tool-poisoning-scanner
live--url= or --stdio= with --arg=…Connects, calls tools/list, then toxic-flow-auditor and tool-poisoning-scanner
catalog A tools/list dump ({ "tools": [...] } or a bare array)Same checks as live, offline

scan reads TypeScript/JavaScript, Python (FastMCP, official SDK, low-level server) and Go (official go-sdk, mark3labs/mcp-go) MCP servers in full: tool definitions, handler sinks and OAuth rules. Other languages (Rust, Java, Kotlin, C#, Ruby, PHP, Swift) get the language-neutral rules only (secrets, URLs, config). The report's coverage lists every source file with its language, that depth (full or patterns) and the number of tool definitions found, plus a per-language summary (languages: in text output), so a file the scan could not read deeply is visible rather than silently passing.

--discover-shadow adds an MCP09 check to scan: it inventories the MCP servers configured on this machine (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, VS Code) through mcp-config-auditor, and --allowlist= marks the approved ones.

Related packages

Each auditor is also its own package with more options: mcp-secret-scanner, mcp-server-auditor, mcp-oauth-auditor, mcp-audit-gap-auditor, mcp-context-oversharing-auditor, mcp-toxic-flow-auditor, mcp-tool-poisoning-scanner, mcp-config-auditor. To enforce these rules at runtime instead of finding them in code, put mcp-security-proxy in front of your MCP servers.
