Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check GhostFree 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: GHOSTFREE_DIR (Override the directory where GhostFree stores its data files (accepted-risks.yml, config.yml). Defaults to .ghostfree/ in the scanned repository root.), GHOSTFREE_MIN_SEVERITY (Minimum CVE severity level to surface. One of: CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM (default), LOW.), NVD_API_KEY (Optional NVD API key for higher rate limits when enriching CVE details. Free to request at https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/request-an-api-key.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

GhostFree — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for GhostFree?
GhostFree 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 ghostfree was installed 31 times last week.
How do I connect GhostFree?
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 ghostfree straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use GhostFree?
The npm package ghostfree was installed 31 times in the last week. Week over week that is +42%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is GhostFree 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.
