## Documentation & README

# package-risk MCP connector

MCP tools for checking a package's maintenance status, licence, and security
advisories before you depend on it - `package_risk`, `package_licence`,
`package_advisories`. Paid per call in USDC on Base mainnet via [x402](https://x402.org).

**No subscription, no API key.** You pay from your own wallet, per call, only
for what you use.

## What this is (and isn't)

This is a thin client. The actual service is a stateless HTTP API at
`x402-package-risk.x402-package-risk.workers.dev`. This connector never sees,
holds, or forwards anyone else's funds - it only ever spends the wallet key
**you** configure below, and only when **you** call one of its tools.

## Setup

You need an EVM wallet with a small amount of USDC on **Base mainnet**
(calls cost $0.005-$0.01 each). Never use a wallet holding significant funds
for an automated agent key - keep this one funded lightly.

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "package-risk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@makosdav/package-risk-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xyour-private-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Tools

| Tool | Price | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
| `package_risk` | $0.01 | Full verdict: maintenance, licence, advisories, deprecation |
| `package_licence` | $0.005 | Licence expression and closed-source safety |
| `package_advisories` | $0.005 | Open OSV advisories for the resolved version |

All three take `system` (npm/pypi/go/maven/cargo/nuget), `name`, and an
optional `version`.

## How payment works

1. Your agent calls a tool.
2. This connector requests the resource; the server replies `402 Payment Required`.
3. `@x402/fetch` builds and signs a payment authorisation with your key.
4. The request retries with payment attached; the server verifies via Coinbase
   CDP, returns the result, and settles on-chain.

No approval prompt happens here beyond what your MCP client itself asks for -
if you want per-call confirmation, configure that in your agent framework, not
here.
