compuute-scan-api

Scan-as-a-Service for MCP servers. HTTP + MCP wrapper around compuute-scan — the MCP-specific static security scanner. Designed for agent-callable consumption.

POST a public GitHub repo URL → get a structured security report scored against 38 MCP-specific rules across 8 languages (TS/JS, Python, Go, Rust, C#, Java, Kotlin).

Honesty note (read first): compuute-scan is a pattern-breadth detector, not an exploitability oracle. Historic false-positive rate after manual validation is ~90% on raw output (verified against modelcontextprotocol/servers: 138 raw findings → 13 confirmed). Every response carries a _disclaimer field stating this explicitly. Use findings as a triage queue, not as a list of confirmed vulnerabilities. See docs/FP-RATES.md for per-rule transparency.

Live at https://scan.compuute.se. Service version reported by /v1/health.

Endpoints

Core scan

POST /v1/scan/pay with no body to read the payment requirements without paying — the request body is optional precisely so discovery probes reach the 402 instead of body validation. Verify with the Coinbase Agentic Wallet CLI:

| GET | /v1/scan/info | Scanner version + limits + supported ecosystems | none | | GET | /v1/health | Liveness + scanner-binary availability | none |

x402 payment env vars (all optional locally; /v1/scan/pay returns 503 until the wallet is set):

Rehearsing payments on testnet

Set X402_NETWORK=eip155:84532 to quote prices in Base Sepolia USDC, which is free from a faucet. The CDP facilitator serves Sepolia too, so a testnet payment exercises the real verify/settle path and your real CDP API keys — without moving real money.

Asset address and EIP-712 domain are selected together per network: Base mainnet USDC signs as "USD Coin", Base Sepolia as "USDC". Mixing them fails every signature with an error that looks like a bad API key, which is why they live in one NETWORKS table rather than separate env vars.

Mainnet is the default and an unknown value falls back to it, so a typo can never silently ask real agents to pay in worthless testnet USDC. Check which mode is live with curl -s https://scan.compuute.se/v1/health — the x402 block reports network and testnet.

Scripts

Architecture

• api/services/scan.py — clone + sandbox + scan + parse. Pure functions.
• api/services/x402_service.py — x402 v2 verify / settle on the official x402 SDK; CDP facilitator (Base mainnet) by default; Bazaar discovery extension in 402 bodies.
• api/services/cdp_auth.py — minimal CDP API-key JWT auth for the facilitator (PyJWT + cryptography; avoids the full cdp-sdk).
• api/serializers/scan_serializer.py — Pydantic models, strict validation.
• api/routes/scan.py — HTTP layer for /v1/scan: idempotency, cache, ETag.
• api/routes/scan_x402.py — HTTP layer for /v1/scan/pay.
• api/routes/discovery.py — /.well-known/*, /robots.txt, /sitemap.xml.
• api/mcp_server.py — FastMCP server exposing scan_mcp_server.
• main.py — FastAPI wiring + middleware (security headers, CORS).

Bundled compuute-scan version is pinned in the Dockerfile (ARG COMPUUTE_SCAN_REF=v0.6.2).
