License: MIT Live on MCPize

An MCP server that audits package.json for the real mechanisms behind actual npm supply-chain incidents — typosquatting and malicious install scripts — not a generic vulnerability-database lookup.

What it catches

Typosquatting. Dependency names within 1-2 character edit distance of one of the npm registry's most-depended-on packages (lodash, express, react, axios, and ~90 others) — the actual real targets of typosquat campaigns, since attackers go after the packages with the largest install base. lodahs, expres, reqeust all flag; an unrelated, genuinely distinct package name doesn't.

Malicious install scripts. preinstall/install/postinstall hooks run automatically on npm install, before any of the package's own code is ever reviewed — the actual delivery mechanism behind real incidents (event-stream 2018, ua-parser-js 2021, and others since). Flags scripts that pipe a remote download directly into a shell, and scripts that decode an obfuscated base64 payload before running it.

Unpinned versions. Dependencies on * or latest pull in whatever gets published next, silently, with no diff in your repo to explain why your dependency tree changed.
