Attestd - Deterministic CVE & Supply Chain Data
LocalAbout Attestd - Deterministic CVE & Supply Chain Data
@attestd/mcp is an MCP server for checking whether infrastructure and PyPI or npm package versions have exploitable CVEs or supply-chain compromise signals. It returns structured risk data for AI agents and security workflows, including batch checks and CVE details.
Key features
- 01Check CVE risk for a product version
- 02Audit up to 100 packages per batch
- 03Retrieve CVE details and exploit signals
- 04List covered products and packages
- 05Check API key usage quota
Use cases
- 01Audit dependencies in a lockfile or manifest
- 02Assess infrastructure versions for known vulnerabilities
- 03Inspect CVSS, EPSS, and exploitation status for a CVE
MCP support
Exposes vulnerability, supply-chain, product coverage, CVE detail, and usage tools to MCP-compatible clients. An API key is required for most live checks.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y @attestd/mcpATTESTD_API_KEYSecretAttestd API key (atst_...). Required for check_package_vulnerability, check_batch_vulnerabilities, get_cve_details, and live list_covered_products. Get one at https://api.attestd.io/portalATTESTD_BASE_URLOptional API base URL override. Defaults to https://api.attestd.ioLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project README@attestd/mcp
Attestd checks whether a dependency version has exploitable CVEs or a confirmed supply-chain compromise. One API call returns a structured risk response.
Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Attestd. Exposes CVE risk and supply-chain checks as tools for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and any MCP-compatible client.

- stdio transport: run via
npx -y @attestd/mcpwith no global install. check_package_vulnerability: wrapsGET /v1/checkusing@attestd/sdk.check_batch_vulnerabilities: checks up to 100 packages in one call. Use for lockfile and manifest audits.list_covered_products: returns Attestd-covered products. With an API key, returns live data fromGET /v1/products. Without a key, returns the static bundled infrastructure list.get_cve_details: returns CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, and affected products for a single CVE id.get_usage: returns remaining quota for the authenticated key (GET /v1/usage).
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- An Attestd API key from the portal. Required for
check_package_vulnerability,check_batch_vulnerabilities,get_cve_details,get_usage, and livelist_covered_products.
Claude Code / MCP config
Add to ~/.claude/mcp.json or project .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"attestd": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@attestd/mcp"],
"env": {
"ATTESTD_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Optional: override the API base URL (e.g. dev):
"env": {
"ATTESTD_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
"ATTESTD_BASE_URL": "https://dev.api.attestd.io"
}
Tools
check_package_vulnerability
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
product | string | Product slug (nginx, postgresql, litellm, …) |
version | string | Exact version (1.20.0) |
Returns JSON with:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
outsideCoverage | true if the product is not covered. Unknown risk, not safe. |
riskState | critical | high | elevated | low | none | null when outside coverage |
riskFactors | Risk factor vocabulary driving riskState |
maxEpss | Highest EPSS probability across matching CVEs |
activelyExploited | CISA KEV signal |
remoteExploitable | true if any matching CVE is remotely exploitable |
authenticationRequired | true only when all matching CVEs require authentication |
patchAvailable / fixedVersion | Patch guidance |
confidence | Synthesis confidence 0.0–1.0 |
cveIds | CVE IDs contributing to the risk assessment |
typosquat | Package name integrity: detected, resembles, confidence, ecosystem (SDK 0.5 runtime; extra fields are omitted) |
message | Explanation when outsideCoverage is true |
supplyChainCompromised / supplyChainDescription | PyPI/npm supply-chain signal |
On invalid/missing API key or rate limit, returns isError: true with a JSON error string.
check_batch_vulnerabilities
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
items | array | Array of { product, version } objects. Maximum 100 per call. Each item costs one API call. |
Quota is checked upfront. If the batch would exceed your monthly quota, a 429 is returned before any calls are billed.
Returns JSON with count and results. Supported items include the same fields as check_package_vulnerability minus typosquat. Outside-coverage items return only product, version, outsideCoverage: true, and riskState: null.
list_covered_products
No arguments. With an API key, returns live JSON from GET /v1/products:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
source | "live" when fetched from the API |
total | Combined count of CVE products and supply chain packages |
cveProducts | CVE infrastructure slugs with display names |
supplyChainPackages | Monitored PyPI/npm packages |
Without an API key, returns the static bundled list:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
source | "static" |
count | Number of bundled infrastructure products |
products | Array of { slug, display } entries |
get_cve_details
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
cve_id | string | CVE identifier, e.g. CVE-2021-44228 |
Returns JSON with:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
found | true when the CVE is in Attestd's database; false on 404 (not an error) |
cveId | CVE identifier |
description | NVD description text |
cvssScore / cvssVector | CVSS base score and vector |
activelyExploited | CISA KEV signal |
remoteExploitable | Remotely exploitable |
authenticationRequired | Authentication required for exploitation |
affectedProducts | Attestd product slugs affected by this CVE |
epssScore / epssPercentile | EPSS probability and percentile |
sourcePublishedAt / lastCheckedAt | ISO timestamps |
When the CVE is not found, returns { "found": false, "cveId": "..." } without isError. On invalid/missing API key or rate limit, returns isError: true with a JSON error string.
get_usage
No arguments. Requires an API key. Returns JSON from GET /v1/usage:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
tier | Account plan tier |
keyCallsThisMonth | Calls billed to this key in the current period |
accountCallsThisMonth | Calls billed across all keys on the account |
includedCalls | Monthly included call cap |
billingPeriodStart / billingPeriodEnd | ISO timestamps |
overageCalls / estimatedOverageUsd | Overage vs the included cap |
On invalid/missing API key or rate limit, returns isError: true with a JSON error string.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
