About Hvtracker Mcp
Hvtracker Mcp is an MCP server for pre-connection supply-chain trust checks on AI agents, frameworks, packages, and MCP servers using HVTracker’s public registry. It offers individual checks, bulk scans, comparisons, and history, as a hosted remote service or local stdio package.
Key features
- 01Check servers and packages before connecting
- 02Retrieve agent and framework trust profiles
- 03Compare two agents side by side
- 04Search by name, repository, or category
- 05Scan dependency lists in bulk
- 06View rankings and trust history
Use cases
- 01Check trust data before connecting to an MCP server or package
- 02Review AI dependencies across a project
- 03Compare trust profiles for candidate agents
- 04Track trust changes for listed agents
MCP support
The MCP server provides clients with trust-check, search, comparison, bulk-scan, and registry-query tools. It is available as the hosted remote server at https://hvtracker.net/mcp or as a local stdio package.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEHVTracker MCP
MCP server for checking supply-chain trust before connecting to AI agents, frameworks, or MCP servers.
The hosted remote server is:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hvtracker": {
"url": "https://hvtracker.net/mcp"
}
}
}
This repository also provides a local stdio package for clients that prefer package-based installation.
Tools
verify_mcp_server: pre-connect trust verdict for an MCP server, package, GitHub repo, or agent name.check_agent_trust: trust profile for a tracked AI agent or framework — incl. runtime capabilities (MCP status, providers, plugin surface, provenance drift) and the URL of its Ed25519-signed trust credential.compare_agents: two agents side by side with an evidence-based verdict and the published compare-page link.search_agents: search the HVTracker registry by name, repo, description, or category.scan_stack: bulk pre-connect trust check for a whole dependency set — paste a requirements.txt, package.json, MCP client config, or a plain list and get a trust verdict per item plus a stack summary.list_categories: list the HVTracker categories with agent counts, so you can then pull a category's leaderboard.get_leaderboard: top tracked AI agents and MCP servers ranked by HVTrust score, optionally filtered to one category.get_agent_history: 90-day trust-score, grade, and rank history for one tracked agent — is it improving or declining?
Check your AI dependencies in CI
HVTrust Gate runs the same trust checks in
GitHub Actions. With no configuration it reads your requirements.txt, pyproject.toml,
package.json and MCP client configs, and comments on pull requests that change them with
the HVTrust grade of each AI agent and MCP server you depend on.

Local Install
With npm:
npm install -g hvtracker-mcp
With PyPI:
python3 -m pip install hvtracker-mcp
Example MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hvtracker": {
"command": "hvtracker-mcp"
}
}
}
Development
python3 -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python3 -m pytest
hvtracker-mcp
Use a different HVTracker base URL while testing:
HVTRACKER_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 hvtracker-mcp
Registry Publishing
The official MCP Registry manifest is server.json.
mcp-publisher login github
mcp-publisher publish
In GitHub Actions, run the "Publish MCP Registry" workflow after the npm, PyPI, and GHCR packages for the same version are live.
The server name is:
io.github.YugantM/hvtracker-mcp
Claude Desktop Extension
Tagged releases build an .mcpb bundle for Claude Desktop from manifest.json.
To build it locally:
npm ci --omit=dev
npx @anthropic-ai/[email protected] pack
Privacy
HVTracker MCP sends the user-supplied search string or server identifier to
https://hvtracker.net to fetch public trust data. It does not require an API
key and does not write to user systems. See the HVTracker site for current data
and methodology, and see PRIVACY.md for the repository privacy note.
Comments
New to MCP?
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.
