Setup guide

Set up mcptrustchecker in Cursor

communitystdiounknown

Security scanner for MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers — reads the real published npm/PyPI source, not just metadata, to catch tool poisoning, prompt injection, toxic flows & supply-chain risk. Offline, deterministic A–F Trust Score, SARIF + CI gates.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcptrustchecker": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcptrustchecker"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json. Generated from the captured install method (npx); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

02Steps

Make sure Cursor is installed and up to date.
Open .cursor/mcp.json and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
Provide any required API keys/credentials as environment variables.
Restart Cursor and confirm mcptrustchecker’s tools appear.
