MCP Server Security Scanner — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Server Security Scanner?

MCP Server Security 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 mcp-server-security-scanner was installed 27 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Server Security 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 mcp-server-security-scanner straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Server Security Scanner?

The npm package mcp-server-security-scanner was installed 27 times in the last week. Week over week that is +1458%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
