Husk Overview
The Husk MCP server connects AI-agent workflows to Husk’s local security scanner and CLI. Husk scans dependencies, secrets, install scripts, and AI/MCP configuration, with reports available in terminal, JSON, TUI, or a local web UI. Use it when an agent needs locally run defensive checks without sending files off the machine. Online advisory lookups send package metadata and CVE IDs to public databases; offline mode makes no network calls.
Primary Use Cases for Husk:
- Scan a project for vulnerable dependencies and leaked secrets
- Check a package before adding it to a project
- Gate CI builds on security finding severity
- Review unsafe AI and MCP configuration locally
