Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 918 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name osv-advisory-mcp-server.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 5 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 918 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 918 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    24 of 24 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

Capabilities

Tools 5

osv_get_vulnerability

Fetch the full advisory record for an OSV vulnerability ID. Returns the complete record: summary, full details text, CVE aliases, all affected packages and version ranges, fix versions, CVSS severity vectors, CWE weakness IDs, and references. Use when osv_query_package or osv_query_batch returns a vuln ID and you need the full advisory context — affected packages or remediation guidance. For overflow, repeat the original input with page: overflow.page. Continue the same path with offset: page.nextOffset and revision: page.revision until nextOffset is null. Retrieve each entries[].deferred.path separately at offset zero without a revision. Do not pass the output page object as input. Every page is a fresh lookup; restart a changed node without a revision. Transmission overflow and upstream truncation are separate; neither confirms clean.

Discovered
osv_list_ecosystems

Return the supported ecosystem identifier strings for osv_query_package and osv_query_batch: every ecosystem the OSV schema names that OSV.dev accepts at query time, plus GIT, as verified on 2026-10-31. Ecosystem strings are case-sensitive exact matches — passing "pypi" instead of "PyPI" returns an error from the API. Use this tool to discover valid ecosystem strings before querying, or to verify an ecosystem identifier from a lockfile format. The list is static and may lag ecosystems added after that date.

Discovered
osv_query_batch

Query vulnerabilities for multiple packages in one call — the primary tool for dependency audits, SBOM scanning, and lockfile triage. Pass up to 1000 mixed {name, ecosystem, version} tuples and {purl, version?} identifiers, with exactly one embedded or separate version per PURL. Each entry in the response corresponds positionally to the input. Each finding includes CVE aliases for chaining to nist-nvd-mcp-server for CVSS scoring. Large replies retain the complete summary. For overflow, repeat the original packages array with page: overflow.page. Continue the same path with offset: page.nextOffset and revision: page.revision until nextOffset is null. Retrieve each entries[].deferred.path separately at offset zero without a revision. Do not pass the output page object as input. /results/17 selects original input row 17, even when earlier rows failed. Pages are fresh lookups and do not recompute the initial summary; restart a changed node without a revision. Transmission overflow and upstream truncated are separate; neither confirms clean.

Discovered
osv_query_commit

Query known vulnerabilities for one full Git commit hash (40 hexadecimal SHA-1 or 64 hexadecimal SHA-256 characters, case-insensitive). Abbreviated hashes are rejected. Returns advisory summaries, record-wide severity and GIT ranges with repositories and ordered fix events; use osv_get_vulnerability for full records. No package-specific fixedVersions are inferred. For overflow, repeat the original input with page: overflow.page. Continue the same path with offset: page.nextOffset and revision: page.revision until nextOffset is null. Retrieve entries[].deferred.path separately at offset zero without a revision. Do not pass the output page object as input. Pages are fresh lookups; restart a changed node without a revision. Transmission overflow and upstream truncated are separate; neither confirms clean.

Discovered
osv_query_package

Query known vulnerabilities for a single package version using {name, ecosystem, version} or {purl, version?}; supply exactly one embedded or separate version. Returns all matching OSV advisories with severity (CVSS vectors), CVE aliases, affected version ranges, and the fixed versions listed for the queried package. Use osv_list_ecosystems to validate the ecosystem string before querying — ecosystem strings are case-sensitive exact matches and an invalid value returns an error, not empty results. For overflow, repeat the original input with page: overflow.page. Continue the same path with offset: page.nextOffset and revision: page.revision until nextOffset is null. Retrieve each entries[].deferred.path separately at offset zero without a revision. Do not pass the output page object as input. Set page.advisoryId to an announced ID to fetch its fields with fixes and severity for the queried package; retain advisoryId on subsequent pages. Pages are fresh lookups; restart a changed node without a revision. Transmission overflow and upstream truncated are separate; neither confirms clean.
