Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:54-66 (registration)

  Registration of the vigile_check_server tool on the MCP server with zod schema and handler

  // ── Tool: vigile_check_server ──
  
  server.tool(
    "vigile_check_server",
    "Look up the trust score and security findings for an MCP server in the Vigile registry. Returns trust score (0-100), trust level, findings summary, and a link to the full report.",

      const result = await checkServer(API_BASE, API_KEY, name);
      return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: result }] };

• src/tools/check-server.ts:7-81 (handler)

  Main handler function checkServer that fetches trust score from Vigile API and formats the response with score, trust level, findings, and a link to the full report

  export async function checkServer(

• src/tools/api.ts:5-46 (helper)

  Helper function fetchVigile used by checkServer to make API calls to the Vigile backend
