What is the Socket.dev (Dependency Security) MCP Server?

Connect Socket.dev to your AI agent to proactively defend against supply chain attacks. This MCP server allows you to analyze open-source packages, scan manifest files, and monitor for malicious dependencies without leaving your development environment.

What you can do

Package Analysis — Get deep security scores and identify issues for specific packages using PURLs (e.g., npm, PyPI, Go).
Dependency Scanning — Upload manifest files like package.json or requirements.txt to create comprehensive security scans.
Report Management — List and retrieve detailed security reports, including policy compliance and alert data.
Threat Intelligence — Access a real-time feed of malicious packages detected by Socket's analysis engine.
Organization Oversight — Manage scans across different organizations and monitor your API usage quotas.

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Enter your Socket.dev API Token
Start auditing your dependencies directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Stop guessing if a package is safe. Let your AI agent use Socket's industry-leading telemetry to catch typosquatting, backdoors, and telemetry before they enter your codebase.

Who is this for?

Security Engineers — Automate the review of new dependencies and monitor organizational security posture.
Developers — Check package safety scores instantly before running npm install or pip install.
DevOps Teams — Integrate dependency scanning into the conversation to quickly triage security reports.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if a specific npm package is safe to use?

You can use the get_package_score tool by providing the Package URL (PURL), such as pkg:npm/lodash. The agent will return a security score and risk assessment.

Can I scan my entire project's dependencies at once?

Yes! Use the create_scan tool and provide the content of your manifest files (like package.json). Socket will analyze all dependencies and generate a report.

How do I see the specific security issues found in a package?

Use the get_package_issues tool with the package's PURL. It will list all alerts, such as telemetry, install scripts, or known vulnerabilities associated with that package.
