Pkgxray MCP Server

Inspect an npm package or MCP server before you install it or connect to it. You get a SAFE, REVIEW, or BLOCK verdict, decided by fixed rules and backed by cited evidence. The analysis is static, runs on your machine, and has no dependencies. Normal scans never execute package code. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
