What is the Dependency Impact Analyzer MCP?

It is an MCP that allows your AI client to evaluate the security, legal, and structural impact of adding or updating dependencies in your code.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

How does it help with security?

The MCP allows your agent to identify known vulnerabilities and assess the risk level of specific dependency changes.

Can it check for license issues?

Yes, it includes a capability specifically designed to validate if a package's license is compatible with your project's policy.

Does it work with requirements.txt files?

Yes, it can construct a structured dependency tree from standard manifest files including requirements.txt and JSON files.

How does this capability prevent supply-chain attacks?

It uses analyze_dependency_impact to cross-reference new dependencies against a local vulnerability database, identifying known CVEs before they are installed.

Can I check if a package's license is allowed?

Yes, the check_license_compliance capability validates a package's license against your project's specific permitted license policy.

What information is included in the impact analysis?

The analysis includes the risk level (LOW to CRITICAL), a list of transitive dependencies, known vulnerabilities, license compatibility, and the estimated increase in bundle size.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Dependency Impact Analyzer.

01
Analyze dependency impact
This capability determines the security, legal, and structural impact of adding or updating a specific dependency. It identifies risk levels and estimates changes to your bundle size.
02
Check license compliance
This capability validates if a package's license matches your project's specific legal policies. It prevents you from accidentally introducing incompatible licenses into your codebase.
03
Get dependency tree from manifest
This capability builds a structured dependency tree from your manifest files like package.json or requirements.txt. It provides a full view of your project's dependency structure.

Real work

What teams actually run

Safe Dependency Updates

Use the agent to check if updating a core library will introduce new vulnerabilities or bloat.

Automated License Checks

Have your agent verify that every new package added to the project meets your legal standards.

Supply Chain Defense

Mitigate risks in agent-generated code by auditing the impact of every suggested dependency.

Architecture Audits

Generate a full dependency tree from manifest files to understand your project's structure.

One connector, every AI

Dependency Impact Analyzer works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Dependency Impact Analyzer to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Dependency Impact Analyzer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Dependency Impact Analyzer. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
