io.github.makosdDavid/package-risk
Package risk checks: maintenance, licence, advisories. Paid per call in USDC, no signup.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
@makosdav/package-risk-mcpclaude mcp add package-risk -e 'EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=<your evm_private_key>' -- npx -y @makosdav/package-risk-mcp@1.0.5
{
"mcpServers": {
"package-risk": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@makosdav/package-risk-mcp@1.0.5"
],
"env": {
"EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "<your evm_private_key>"
}
}
}
}
Environment variables
EVM_PRIVATE_KEYrequired secret Private key of an EVM wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base mainnet. Each tool call spends $0.005-$0.01 from it. Use a lightly funded key dedicated to this agent, never a main wallet.
Documentation
From the project's README on GitHub, refreshed weekly. Links open on GitHub.
package-risk MCP connector
MCP tools for checking a package's maintenance status, licence, and security
advisories before you depend on it - package_risk, package_licence,
package_advisories. Paid per call in USDC on Base mainnet via x402.
No subscription, no API key. You pay from your own wallet, per call, only for what you use.
What this is (and isn't)
This is a thin client. The actual service is a stateless HTTP API at
x402-package-risk.x402-package-risk.workers.dev. This connector never sees,
holds, or forwards anyone else's funds - it only ever spends the wallet key
you configure below, and only when you call one of its tools.
Setup
You need an EVM wallet with a small amount of USDC on Base mainnet (calls cost $0.005-$0.01 each). Never use a wallet holding significant funds for an automated agent key - keep this one funded lightly.
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"package-risk": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@makosdav/package-risk-mcp"],
"env": {
"EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xyour-private-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Tools
| Tool | Price | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
package_risk | $0.01 | Full verdict: maintenance, licence, advisories, deprecation |
package_licence | $0.005 | Licence expression and closed-source safety |
package_advisories | $0.005 | Open OSV advisories for the resolved version |
All three take system (npm/pypi/go/maven/cargo/nuget), name, and an
optional version.
How payment works
- Your agent calls a tool.
- This connector requests the resource; the server replies
402 Payment Required. @x402/fetchbuilds and signs a payment authorisation with your key.- The request retries with payment attached; the server verifies via Coinbase CDP, returns the result, and settles on-chain.
No approval prompt happens here beyond what your MCP client itself asks for - if you want per-call confirmation, configure that in your agent framework, not here.
