Cve Cache Overview

It supports npm, PyPI, Cargo, Maven, and Go packages through a stdio MCP interface. Reach for it when an agent needs normalized vulnerability data without querying NVD and GHSA sources separately.
Primary Use Cases for Cve Cache:
- Audit dependencies across supported package ecosystems
