Advanced tools
MCP tools for package-risk: dependency maintenance, licence and advisory checks, paid per call via x402.
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.
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.
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"
}
}
}
}
| 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.
