Pkgproof Overview
The pkgproof MCP server checks npm packages through pkgproof.net before installation. Its single `verify_package` tool accepts a package name, optional exact version, and optional ecosystem, then returns a verdict with sourced reasons marked as facts or heuristics. Use it when an agent needs a package-risk check before adding a dependency. The first verification per day is free; later checks require a configured wallet and cost $0.05 in USDC.
Primary Use Cases for Pkgproof:
- Verify an npm dependency before adding it to a project
- Check an exact package release for advisories and install scripts
- Screen dependency names for typosquats and combosquats
- Review a package's declared repository and scope
