Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that compares license evidence between two snapshots of a project's dependencies without returning package names or license text.

What you can do
Compare license evidence recorded in two local snapshots of a project's dependencies and report what changed between them. The comparison is designed to avoid returning package names, license text and similar raw details, so results stay summarized rather than exposing the underlying entries. It runs as a local process on the user's machine over stdio.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to check whether dependency licensing shifted between two points in a project, for example before a release or after a dependency update, while keeping package names and license text out of the conversation.
Requirements
Runs as a local process started on the user's machine over stdio, installed from the npm package dependency-license-change-mcp, so a Node.js runtime is needed. Desktop only; no authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Two local license snapshots are needed to compare.
Before you install
It reads local license evidence from your project, so point it only at snapshots you are comfortable processing. Because it is built to withhold package names and license text, verify results against the source snapshots before relying on them for compliance decisions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Dependency License Change Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
