6 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- Snyk official maintenance.
- 2,366 GitHub stars.
- 81 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Apache-2.0 license.
- Purpose-built for MCP and agent skill security.
- SARIF export integrates with standard CI security tooling.
- Snyk account required for full feature set; some scans need API access.
- Findings are heuristic; manual security review still recommended for high-stakes deployments.
- Coverage depends on Snyk's vulnerability database update cadence.
SNYK_TOKEN is account-scoped. Use a CI service-account token rather than personal credentials. Scan results may include sensitive context (file paths, environment variables); restrict access to scan reports to the security team.
Security teams reviewing third-party MCP servers before mounting them; CI flows that scan agent skills before deployment; auditors validating that agent stacks meet security policy.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
