Best for
  • Security teams to monitor company-wide agent supply chain risk
  • Developers to quickly assess security of their MCP servers and skills
  • Evaluating third-party MCP configs in sandboxed environments
  • Developers auditing NPM dependencies within AI workflows
  • Teams performing supply chain security assessments
  • Users of Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
Not for
  • Users needing stable programmatic output (CLI output is experimental and may change)
  • Production workflows depending on specific CLI output fields
  • Scanning non-stdio MCP servers (only stdio is supported)
  • Projects outside the NPM ecosystem (e.g., pure Python/Go)
  • Environments without network access to deps.dev, OSV.dev, and the npm registry
  • Scenarios requiring maintenance by an official upstream vendor
Required permissions
  • Requires SNYK_TOKEN environment variable to call Snyk API
  • Executes commands defined in MCP configurations (stdio server startup)
  • Reads local agent configuration files (e.g., ~/.claude/skills)
  • Network access to the NPM registry and external services (deps.dev, OSV.dev, OpenSSF, npms.io, GitHub)
  • Read access to workspace lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock., yarn.lock) for cache invalidation
Risks and side effects
  • Scanning MCP configurations executes their commands, posing risk of malicious code execution
  • Skills, app names, and tool descriptions are shared with Snyk (usage implies consent)
  • CLI output is experimental and subject to change
  • Large-scale API usage may result in account blocking
  • Third-party READMEs and changelogs are untrusted external content; they are wrapped in tags with _meta flags but should still be handled cautiously
  • Depends on availability and accuracy of external services
  • Batch requests are capped at 25 packages to prevent registry enumeration; larger sets require batching
  • Third-party open source project, not officially maintained by NPM or Anthropic
