Frequently asked questions
Can I find which projects are affected by a specific vulnerable package?
Yes. Use the get_parent_projects tool with the dependency locator (e.g., npm+coa$2.0.2) to see every project in your organization that includes that specific dependency.
How do I check for security vulnerabilities in a list of dependencies?
You can use the check_vulnerabilities tool by providing an array of dependency locators. The agent will return any known security issues impacting those specific versions.
Can I see the full dependency list for a specific project version?
Absolutely. By using get_revision_dependencies with a revision locator, you can retrieve the complete list of dependencies identified by FOSSA for that specific build or release.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
