Today is the operative word: we check Package Risk every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: EVM_PRIVATE_KEY (Private key of an EVM wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base mainnet. Each tool call spends $0.005-$0.01 from it. Use a lightly funded key dedicated to this agent, never a main wallet.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Package Risk — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Package Risk?

Package Risk 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 @makosdav/package-risk-mcp was installed 38 times last week.

How do I connect Package Risk?

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 @makosdav/package-risk-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Package Risk?

The npm package @makosdav/package-risk-mcp was installed 38 times in the last week. Week over week that is +45%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Package Risk open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 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.
