Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Sonatype component intelligence: versions, security analysis, and Trust Score recommendations

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.

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.

Common questions

Is Dependency Management MCP Server 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 (1.0.2) reached the registry 12 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?

Sonatype MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to Sonatype's dependency management and security intelligence platform. Empower your AI coding assistant with real-time insights into open source security vulnerabilities, license compliance, and dependency health.

Overview

The Sonatype MCP Server enables AI assistants to access Sonatype's comprehensive dependency intelligence directly within your development workflow. By integrating with the Model Context Protocol, your AI assistant can help you make informed decisions about dependencies, identify security risks, and maintain compliance — all without leaving your IDE.

Key Features

  • Component Version Selection - Select the best version the first time, without the side quest
  • Security Vulnerability Scanning - Identify known vulnerabilities in your project dependencies
  • License Compliance Checking - Ensure your dependencies meet your organization's license policies
  • Dependency Health Analysis - Get insights into dependency quality, maintenance status, and risk factors
  • Real-time Security Advisories - Stay informed about the latest security threats affecting your dependencies
  • Remediation Guidance - Receive actionable recommendations to fix vulnerabilities and compliance issues

Prerequisites

  • For IDEs or tools that only support stdio MCP servers (like IntelliJ), install mcp-remote:
  npm install -g mcp-remote

Setup

The Sonatype MCP Server runs as a remote MCP server. Choose the setup instructions for your IDE or AI assistant:

Gemini Code Assist

Replace with your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens

{

"mcpServers": { "discoveredServer": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Claude Code

Add the server using the Claude CLI:

Replace with your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user sonatype-mcp https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"
VS Code Copilot

Add the following configuration to your global VS Code mcp.json or create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace:

Replace with your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens

{

"servers": { "sonatype-mcp": { "url": "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp", "type": "http", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Windsurf

Create or edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

Replace with your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens

{

"mcpServers": { "sonatype-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer " ] } } }

IntelliJ with Junie

Global Scope: Go to IDE settings → Tools → Junie → MCP Settings. Click "+" and add:

Project Scope: Create .junie/mcp/.mcp.json in your project root:

Replace with your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens

{

"mcpServers": { "sonatype-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer " ] } } }

Kiro

Create or edit ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json:

Replace with your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens

{

"mcpServers": { "sonatype-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer " ] } } }

Cursor

Cursor supports remote servers directly. Add to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

Replace with your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens

{

"mcpServers": { "sonatype-mcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Codex (IDE Plugin & CLI)

For both methods below, define an environment variable SONATYPE_GUIDE_MCP_TOKEN for your personal API token generated at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens.

Method 1: Using CLI command: codex mcp add sonatype-mcp --url https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var SONATYPE_GUIDE_MCP_TOKEN

Method 2: Create or edit ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.sonatype-mcp]

url = "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp" bearer_token_env_var = "SONATYPE_GUIDE_MCP_TOKEN"

Authentication

The Sonatype MCP Server uses API token authentication:

  1. Create a Sonatype Guide account and generate your personal API token at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens
  2. Add the token to your MCP configuration using the Authorization: Bearer header format
  3. Replace with your actual token in the configuration examples above

Your API token authenticates all requests automatically. Keep your token secure and never commit it to version control.

Configuring AI Assistant Rules

To maximize the effectiveness of the Sonatype MCP Server, configure your AI assistant to prioritize using Sonatype MCP tools when working with dependencies, packages, or software supply chain security. Below are instructions for each supported IDE or tool.

Example Use Cases

In the normal course of development, LLMs will decide to use or upgrade dependencies. Our MCP tools will be used transparently, offering better suggestions with more up-to-date information, eliminating the side quest of validating component and version choices.

Here are some ways to leverage the Sonatype MCP Server explicitly in your development workflow:

Analyze a Specific Version

Ask your AI assistant:

"Get detailed security information for react 18.2.0"

The assistant will return comprehensive details including CVEs with CVSS scores, license information, categories, end-of-life status, and catalog date.

Find the Latest Stable Version

Ask your AI assistant:

"What's the latest stable version of spring-boot?"

The assistant will return the latest version with full security analysis, policy violations, licenses, risk scores, and upgrade recommendations.

Security Assessment Workflow

The assistant can use both tools to compare your current version with the latest and provide actionable security guidance.

Available Tools

The Sonatype MCP Server provides three powerful tools for AI assistants:

  • getComponentVersion - Gets component information about a specific version of a component
  • getLatestComponentVersion - Gets component information about the latest version of a component
  • getRecommendedComponentVersions - Gets a set of recommended versions to upgrade to based on the current version of a component. If no version is provided, gets a set of recommended versions to start with for the component
