Guardvibe vs LinkPilot
A side-by-side look at the Guardvibe and LinkPilot MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Guardvibe for security work as a local process; choose LinkPilot for security as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Tools & capabilities
Guardvibe tools 39
check_codeAnalyze inline code for security vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10, XSS, SQL injection, insecure patterns). Pass code as a string parameter. For scanning files on disk, use scan_file instead. Example: check_code({code: 'app.get(...)', language: 'javascript'})check_projectScan multiple files for security vulnerabilities and generate a project-wide security report with a security score. Use this for comprehensive security audits.get_security_docsGet security best practices and remediation guidance for a specific topic, framework, or vulnerability type. Covers OWASP Top 10, framework-specific hardening (Next.js, Supabase, Stripe), and secure coding patterns. Returns actionable guidance with code examples.check_dependenciesCheck npm, PyPI, or Go packages for known security vulnerabilities (CVEs) using the OSV database. Use this before adding new dependencies or to audit existing ones.scan_directoryScan all files in a directory on disk for security vulnerabilities. Pass a directory path — reads files from filesystem. Returns security score (A-F) and findings. Results may be truncated for large projects — check fileRanking in JSON output for top files. Example: scan_directory({path: './src'})scan_dependenciesParse a lockfile or manifest (package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.mod) and check all dependencies for known CVEs via the OSV database. Reads the file directly. Use this after installing dependencies, during CI, or when auditing existing projects for vulnerable packages.scan_hallucinated_packagesDetect AI-hallucinated and slopsquatted packages in a repo — the supply-chain seam commodity SCA misses. OFFLINE (deterministic): flags phantom imports (a package imported in source but absent from every package.json — a classic LLM hallucination tell) and typosquats of popular packages. ONLINE (opt-in, default on; gracefully degrades offline): adds npm-registry truth — packages that return 404 (definitive hallucination) and brand-new low-download packages (slopsquat-registration pattern). Run on AI-generated code at PR time, before `npm install`. Pass online:false for a fully deterministic, air-gapped scan.scan_secretsScan files and directories for leaked secrets, API keys, tokens, and credentials. Detects high-entropy strings, known API key patterns (AWS, Stripe, OpenAI, GitHub, Supabase), exposed .env files, and missing .gitignore coverage. Returns findings with exact line numbers and remediation steps.scan_stagedScan git-staged files for security vulnerabilities before committing. Run this before every commit to catch issues early. No input needed — automatically reads staged files. Diff-aware by default: reports only issues on newly-staged lines (set diff_aware:false for whole staged files).compliance_reportMap security findings to compliance controls (SOC2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO27001, EUAIACT). Scans a directory and groups issues by control. Output includes a summary section at the top; for large projects, findings are truncated to top 50. Use mode=executive for C-level summary. Example: compliance_report({path: '.', framework: 'SOC2'})export_sarifScan a directory and export results in SARIF v2.1.0 format for CI/CD integration (GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps). Returns JSON string.check_package_healthCheck npm packages for typosquat risk, maintenance status, adoption metrics, and deprecation. Use this before adding new dependencies to catch suspicious or risky packages.- +27 more on the listing page

Frequently asked questions
Guardvibe is categorized under Security and uses a local stdio subprocess. LinkPilot belongs to Security and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Guardvibe for security work and LinkPilot for security.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Guardvibe is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. LinkPilot has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add goklab-guardvibe and linkpilot as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
