socket
Socket operates an official Model Context Protocol server. A public hosted server runs at https://mcp.socket.dev/ over HTTP with OAuth sign-in; a self-hosted stdio/HTTP build ships as npx @socketsecurity/mcp, authenticated with a Socket API token (SOCKET_API_TOKEN). Tool list captured verbatim from the socket-mcp repository documentation.
One-click install for Cursor, VS Code, Claude, and 20+ other MCP clients, powered by API Commons MCP Install — visit install.apicommons.org for more information.

Connect
This is a remote MCP server — point an MCP client at the endpoint URL. Clients with native remote support (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …):
For stdio-only clients (older Claude Desktop, etc.), bridge with mcp-remote:
If the server requires authentication, add the provider's token/header (e.g. an X-API-Key) per its docs. A quick reachability check:
Tools
depscore— Query the Socket API for dependency scoring information — supply chain, quality, maintenance, vulnerability, and license scores per package.organizations— List the Socket organizations the authenticated user belongs to; discovers the org_slug required by organization-scoped tools.alerts— List the latest security alerts for one Socket organization — supply-chain, vulnerability, quality, license, and maintenance issues across monitored packages.threat_feed— Look up items in a Socket organization's threat feed — packages recently flagged as malware, typosquats, obfuscated code, and similar.package_files— List the files published in a package — a tree of paths and sizes for any package on a supported ecosystem.package_file_contents— Read individual files from packages; accepts blob hashes from package_files output.package_file_grep— Search a single file from a package for lines matching a JavaScript regular expression, returning matches with line numbers.
About MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.
Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.
Work with this as data
Every MCP server here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
