Overview
Description from the maker (original English)
Check any MCP server or agent skill before installing: upkeep, real adoption, and OSV advisories.

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

Common questions
Is tashan 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 (0.1.4) reached the registry 3 months 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.

tashan CLI
The trusted directory for your agent's toolbox, in your terminal. Checks what you run against tashan.sh, which measures every MCP server, plugin and skill it can find on public evidence: npm, GitHub, OSV and the MCP registry. Nobody can pay for a position in it.
npx tashan-cli # check the toolbox you already have (the default)npx tashan-cli info context7 # should I install this? The verdict first, then the evidence npx tashan-cli search database # find capabilities, ranked on public evidence
What tashan (doctor) tells you
- What needs attention. Anything deprecated, archived, abandoned, removed from the registry, malicious, or carrying a known advisory. It gives the advisory id, the version that fixes it, and the exact command a package runs at install time.
- Your stack, scored. Each server, plugin and skill we measure gets its tashan score, where it stands in its category ("above 98% of browser"), and the evidence behind the score: publisher, downloads, stars, provenance, documentation grade.
- What you use. From your local Claude Code history: which servers were called in the last 30 days, which were never called, and how many skills you use. Only tool names and dates are read, and nothing leaves the machine. Cursor and Claude Desktop keep no such record, so they get no usage figure. That is not a zero.
- What it can reach. The permission surface your agent carries (files, network, browser, shell, credentials), and which tools can bring third-party text into the model's context. This comes from declared dependencies; nothing is executed.
- What changed. Ownership changes, new install scripts, widened permissions and abandonment in the last 30 days, for the things you run. These are the same events as tashan.sh/changes.html.
- What you have. Counts across every project, what arrived since the last run, and which skills no plugin maintains.
Exit code 2 when something needs attention, so it can gate CI.
tashan Pro
Every finding above is free, in full. Pro adds time: the daily score series behind each capability you run, drawn as a sparkline with its direction. When something you depend on dies, Pro names the measured replacement. $6/mo, 7 days free: tashan.sh/pricing. Sign in with tashan login; in CI, set TASHAN_KEY= .

How it works
Zero dependencies, Node ≥ 18. It reads the public index at tashan.sh/data/lookup.json and your local config. Your config is never uploaded. Every score can be re-derived from public evidence.
TASHAN_DATA= reads a local index.json instead of the network (dev/offline); TASHAN_SITE= points at a different deployment.
