Basic information
Coding agents accelerate software delivery by autonomously suggesting or adding code and dependencies. However, without the right safeguards, they can introduce significant supply chain risks by pulling in third-party packages that:
Add this server to your MCP-compatible client using the configuration below.
{
"mcpServers": {
"boost-security": {
"url": "https://mcp.boostsecurity.io/mcp",
"transport": "http"
}
}
}Validates package security before installation or use. REQUIRED: Call this tool IMMEDIATELY when: - User requests to install/add/use a package (e.g., "install gin", "add gorm", "use express") - User mentions ANY specific package name in their request - User asks about package safety (e.g., "is X safe?", "can I trust Y?") - User requests package recommendations or alternatives - You are about to suggest or implement code using a third-party package - Updating or upgrading existing dependencies DO NOT proceed with package installation or recommendations without calling this tool first. Returns security assessment and recommendations for safe usage. Required: ecosystem (golang/npm/maven/nuget/pypi), package name, and version
Boostsecurity For Safe Packages is an MCP server that safeguards agentic AI workflows by analyzing every package an AI agent introduces to a project. It flags unsafe dependencies—including hallucinations, known vulnerabilities, end-of-life packages, malware, and typosquatting—and recommends secure, maintained alternatives.
Configure the server in an MCP-compliant client (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code) by adding a remote HTTP connection to https://mcp.boostsecurity.io/mcp. Once connected, the validate_package tool is automatically available. For best results, add a rule in your AI agent instructing it to always validate packages with Boostsecurity For Safe Packages before adding them.
validate_package tool for package safety checks.It validates whether a package is safe to use. If the package is unsafe, a recommended alternative is provided.
Python (PyPI), Go (Go Modules), JavaScript/TypeScript (npm), Java (Maven), and C# (NuGet) are supported in this release.
The server uses HTTP transport with a remote server connection to `https://mcp.boostsecurity.io/mcp`. Authentication is not covered in the README.
The server is hosted remotely; no local runtime is needed. Clients must support HTTP transport and remote MCP servers.
Yes, any MCP-compliant client that supports HTTP transport and remote server connections can use it. Refer to your client's documentation for setup instructions.
