At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Taskbounty Check
Security · Local stdio
Quality: 49/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Agentscore MCP Server
Security · Local stdio
Quality: 55/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Taskbounty Check if you need specialized Security tools running via a local process. Choose Agentscore MCP Server if your workspace requires Security integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Taskbounty Check when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Security domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Primary tools included: Exposes scanrepo, explainfinding, and generatefixplan MCP tools, Checks third-party action pinning and workflow permissions, Detects Dependabot or Renovate configuration.
Local-only GitHub Actions and CI maintenance scanner for AI-built apps. Exposes scanrepo, explainfinding, and generatefixplan to MCP clients; reads only allowlisted workflow and update configuration, modifies nothing, makes no outbound requests by default, and has zero runtime dependencies. Run with npx -y taskbounty-check@0.1.6 mcp.
MCP security trust layer. Continuously monitors 800+ MCP packages on npm for install scripts, command injection, hardcoded secrets, capability drift, and publisher posture. Ships a GitHub Action policy gate for PR-level allow/warn/block decisions with OIDC auto-provisioning. 5 MCP tools, no API key required.

Select Taskbounty Check when you need capabilities focused on security and Agentscore MCP Server when you require tools for security.
Scan an npm package for MCP security issues. Checks install scripts, prompt injection patterns, suspicious URLs, source code patterns, dependency count, metadata completeness, and publisher provenance. Returns score (0-100), risk level, and detailed findings.
get_verdict
Get a trust verdict for an MCP package: allow, warn, or block. Based on scan findings (score and severity). Also reports monitoring status and publisher posture. Use this before installing or connecting to an MCP server.
check_exposure
Check which monitored MCP servers depend on a given package. Use this during incident response to find blast radius. Example: 'which MCP servers use axios?'
check_abuse
Check if a package or agent has been reported to the KYA abuse database. Returns whether abuse has been reported and any details.
monitor_status
Check if an MCP package is under continuous monitoring and get its scan history. Shows current score, risk level, and recent changes.
check_my_repo
Inspect the current repo for MCP dependencies, look up AgentScore verdicts for each package, and summarise what should be gated in CI. Use this when a developer wants to understand all MCP packages in a repo instead of scanning one package at a time.
generate_policy_gate_setup
Generate the exact GitHub Actions workflow needed to enforce AgentScore Policy Gate for a repo. Detects MCP dependencies locally and returns the OIDC-based YAML needed for setup. No API key or secret is required.
install_policy_gate
Write the AgentScore Policy Gate workflow file to this repo. Creates .github/workflows/agentscore-policy-gate.yml with OIDC authentication (no API key needed). Detects MCP dependencies and includes them in the workflow. The gate will auto-provision the repo on first push.
