What data it sees

Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

Static security scanner for MCP servers. POST a public GitHub URL, get severity counts, a score, and the top findings with file+line back.

37 rules across TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, C#, Java, and Kotlin — every language with an official MCP SDK. Detects argument injection for npx/uvx/pipx/pnpx runner binaries (CWE-88), known CVEs in 40+ top packages, and the usual L0 discovery (transport, tool inventory, dependency pinning).

This is a pattern detector, not an exploitability oracle. Around 90% raw false-positive rate on unfiltered output — triage is on you, and the response says so explicitly.

POST /v1/scan is free with no API key. POST /v1/scan/pay charges $0.10 USDC per scan via x402 on Base. Manual L2-L4 audits at compuute.se/audit when you need dataflow review.

Wraps compuute-scan (MIT, zero deps). Per-rule false-positive rates and the methodology paper live in the repo.

How to connect

How to connect Compuute MCP Security Scanner to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://compuute-scan-api--daniel-abbay.run.tools

  1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
  5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

Authorization

After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

How to connect Compuute MCP Security Scanner to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://compuute-scan-api--daniel-abbay.run.tools

  1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
  2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
  3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
  4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
  5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
  6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Authorization

On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

How to connect Compuute MCP Security Scanner to Cursor

The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

https://compuute-scan-api--daniel-abbay.run.tools

Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

Manually:

  1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
  2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
  3. Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

Authorization

If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.

scan_mcp_serverScan a public GitHub MCP-server repository for security issues. Clones the repo (shallow, <60s, <200 MB), runs compuute-scan v0.6.2 in static analysis mode (no code execution from the target), and returns a structured report with severity counts, a 0-100 score, and the 10 most severe findings. WHEN TO USE: - Before connecting to an unknown MCP server discovered via Anthropic Registry, Smithery, mcp.so, or a Discord recommendation. - Before installing a third-party MCP-server package into a production pipeline. - As part of an agent's pre-commit / pre-deploy due-diligence step when adding new dependencies. - As one input to a multi-source trust evaluation (combine with publisher reputation, package install count, last-update recency). WHEN NOT TO USE: - For private repos. Use the on-prem CLI instead: `npx compuute-scan ./path-to-private-repo` - For deep exploitability assessment of a specific code path. This is pattern matching, not dataflow analysis. Book a manual L2-L4 audit at https://compuute.se/audit for that depth. - For non-GitHub hosts (GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted). v1 supports github.com only. - For repos > 200 MB or clone time > 60s. The endpoint returns a 413 or 504 in those cases — fall back to local CLI. EXPECTED RESPONSE TIME: - Median: ~1-2 seconds for small repos (<100 files). - p99: ~10 seconds for medium repos. - Hard timeout at clone=60s, scan=120s combined. EXPECTED COST: - Free tier in MVP. Future Pro tier may charge per-scan or per-month. DATA FRESHNESS: - Scanner version is reported in response.scanner.version. - L1 rule set freshness reflects compuute-scan releases — see github.com/Compuute/compuute-scan/CHANGELOG.md for the latest CVE and threat-intel response timeline. EXAMPLES: Example 1 — scan an MCP server you're evaluating: github_url = "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers" → score: 0, summary: {critical: 1, high: 94, medium: 22} → top_findings include SSRF, eval, etc. → recommendation: "AVOID — 1 critical and 94 high finding(s)..." Example 2 — scan a clean reference implementation: github_url = "https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-mcp" → score: 90+, summary: {critical: 0, high: 1} → recommendation: "REVIEW — 1 high finding(s)..." Example 3 — scan your own dev MCP-server before publishing: github_url = "https://github.com/yourorg/your-mcp" → audit your own surface before others install it OUTPUT FIELDS (stable schema): - repo_url (str): canonical URL of the scanned repo. - score (int): 0-100, higher safer. Coarse summary, not a precision claim. - summary (object): {critical, high, medium, low, info, files_scanned}. - recommendation (str): action guidance derived from severity counts. - findings_count (int): total raw findings (may include false positives). - top_findings (list): up to 10 most severe, each with {id, title, severity, file, line, owasp, cwe}. - l0_discovery (object): MCP transport, tool count, dependency pinning. - performance (object): clone_seconds, scan_seconds, repo_size_bytes. - scanner (object): {name, version, layers_covered}. - _disclaimer (str): MANDATORY triage disclaimer. Read it. Args: github_url: Public GitHub HTTPS URL (e.g. https://github.com/org/repo). Must be public and < 200 MB. v1 is github.com only. Returns: Structured scan result. On error, returns {"error": code, "message": ...} with HTTP-style code (invalid_url, clone_failed, scan_timeout, etc.).
