Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command packages/security-suite/src/cli.ts:48
  const result = spawnSync(process.execPath, [cliPath, entry.cmd, ...args], {
Touches key and credential files packages/tool-poisoning-scanner/src/patterns.ts:53
    pattern: /\b(?:read|cat|include|attach|append)\b[^.]{0,80}(?:\.ssh\b|\bid_rsa\b|\.env\b|\.aws[\\/]credentials\b|\bprivate[\s_-]?key\b|\.npmrc\b)/i,

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Model Scanner — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Model Scanner?
Model Scanner runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @guardbee/mcp-model-scanner was installed 52 times last week.
How do I connect Model Scanner?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @guardbee/mcp-model-scanner straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Model Scanner?
The npm package @guardbee/mcp-model-scanner was installed 52 times in the last week. Week over week that is -84%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Model Scanner open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
