Overview

What is SCANOSS MCP Server?

The SCANOSS MCP Server integrates SCANOSS’s open source scanning capabilities with the Model Context Protocol, allowing language models to scan code snippets for undeclared open source content, check license compliance for combinations of open source licenses, and get actionable insights on open source components in code.

How to use SCANOSS MCP Server?

Install via uv locally (uv venv, uv pip install -e .) or use the Docker image (docker pull mcp/scanoss-mcp-server). Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the appropriate command and environment variables (SCANOSS_API_KEY, SCANOSS_API_URL). Run the server and invoke tools such as scan_code_snippet.

Key features of SCANOSS MCP Server

  • Detect open source components in code snippets, files, and snippets
  • Analyze license combinations for compatibility and compliance
  • Receive well‑formatted actionable scan insights
  • Works with free (osskb.org) or enterprise SCANOSS instances

Use cases of SCANOSS MCP Server

  • Scan code generated by an AI assistant for undeclared open source content
  • Check license compliance before including third‑party code in a project
  • Get real‑time compliance feedback during code review or development

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.12+ and the `uv` package manager are required. Dependencies include the SCANOSS Python SDK and MCP Python SDK.

2

Is an API key required?

No. If no API key is provided, the server uses the free osskb.org service. An optional key enables enterprise SCANOSS instances.

3

How can I run the server with Docker?

Pull the image with `docker pull mcp/scanoss-mcp-server`, then run it with `docker run -i --rm -e SCANOSS_API_KEY=your_key -e SCANOSS_API_URL=your_url mcp/scanoss-mcp-server`.

4

What tools does the server expose?

The only tool documented is `scan_code_snippet`, which scans a code snippet for open source components and requires the parameters `code` and `file_name`.

5

Can I use the server with Claude Desktop?

Yes. Add a configuration entry to `claude_desktop_config.json` specifying the command (`uv` or `docker`) and the required environment variables.
