概览

AI 生成的概览

本地 MCP 服务器,将项目声明的 npm 与 PyPI 依赖与真实注册表比对,识别幻觉或抢注(slopsquatting)的包名。

可以做什么
  • 对照真实 npm 注册表检查 package.json 中声明的依赖
  • 对照真实 PyPI 注册表检查 requirements.txt 或 pyproject.toml 中的依赖
  • 查询单个包名是否存在于 npm 或 PyPI
  • 自动识别并扫描目录中的 npm 与 pip 清单文件
  • 按严重程度报告结果:名称不存在为 critical,30 天内新发布为 low,并可输出 SARIF 供 CI 使用
适用场景
适合在 AI 助手或同事刚向清单文件添加新依赖名时,安装前确认这些名称确实存在。也适合在 CI 流程中让 critical 结果导致构建失败。
运行要求
以 stdio 方式在本机运行,通常通过 npx 启动 npm 包,需要 Node.js。无需 API 密钥或账号,直接查询公开的 npm 与 PyPI JSON 接口,因此需要网络访问。
安装前请注意
每次检查都会向 npm 和 PyPI 发起实时 HTTP 请求,注册表故障或限流会表现为工具报错。遥测默认关闭;设置 GUARDBEE_TELEMETRY=1 后会向第三方发送服务器、工具、成功状态、耗时以及文件路径等短参数值。仅检查直接声明的依赖,不检查传递依赖,也不评估版本锁定范围。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 Slopsquat Scanner,将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only,通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程,因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that checks every dependency declared in a project's own manifest (package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml) against the real npm/PyPI registry — not a local database, an actual network lookup.

LLM coding assistants hallucinate plausible-sounding package names at a measurable rate — research on open-source models puts it around 21.7%. Attackers know this and pre-register exactly those names on npm/PyPI, so the next person who copies the same suggestion doesn't get an install error — they get the attacker's code instead. This is slopsquatting, and unlike a typo-squat, there's no misspelling to catch by eye: the hallucinated name is often more plausible-sounding than the real package it was meant to be.

Telemetry is off by default. With GUARDBEE_TELEMETRY=1 it sends the server, tool, success, duration and short parameter values such as a file path; longer strings and fields like content, token or password are replaced with a placeholder. See @guardbee/mcp-telemetry.

Why a live registry lookup, not a local list

There's no way to maintain a local "known bad" list for this — the whole point of a slopsquat is that it's a new name, registered specifically to catch a specific hallucination, possibly hours before someone runs npm install. A static pattern can't know that; only asking the registry "does this exact name exist right now" can. This package only checks a project's own directly declared dependencies (the dependencies/devDependencies/peerDependencies/optionalDependencies sections of package.json, or requirements.txt/pyproject.toml for Python) — not the full resolved lockfile tree. Transitive dependencies were already vetted by whichever maintainer published the package that depends on them; the actual risk moment is when a new name gets typed (by a human or an AI assistant) directly into your own manifest.

A name that doesn't exist at all is unambiguous and reported critical — verify the correct name before you or a teammate installs it. A name that does exist but was only published in the last 30 days is reported low/informational, not critical: this is routine for real new packages too, and on its own doesn't prove anything malicious — it's a "worth a second look" signal, not a verdict.


Features

  • Checks npm and PyPI — package.json, requirements.txt, and pyproject.toml (both PEP 621 [project] dependencies and Poetry's [tool.poetry.dependencies])
  • Direct dependencies only — fast, and matches where the actual slopsquatting risk moment is
  • Scoped npm packages (@scope/name) handled correctly — found and fixed a real URL-encoding bug during development (encodeURIComponent on the whole name double-encodes the registry's own @scope%2Fname convention, producing a URL the registry doesn't recognize as a single package)
  • No API key required — queries the public, unauthenticated npm registry and PyPI JSON API directly
  • SARIF 2.1.0 output — CI/CD integration (GitHub Code Scanning, etc.)
  • 18 unit tests covering the manifest parsers (including a check that transitive lockfile entries are correctly not included) and the severity classification logic, all against real, deterministic fixtures — no mocked network calls, since parsing and classification are pure functions that don't need one. End-to-end verified against the real npm and PyPI registries with a fixture mixing real packages (react, vitest, requests) and deliberately hallucinated ones — caught both hallucinated names, zero false positives on the real ones. Also run against this monorepo's own package.json files as a dogfooding check: zero false positives on real dependencies, and one genuinely correct low-severity finding (@guardbee/mcp-telemetry, itself only ~2 weeks old on npm at the time) — exactly the intended "worth a look, not an alarm" behavior.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop / MCP Client

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "guardbee-slopsquat-scanner": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@guardbee/mcp-slopsquat-scanner"]    }  }}

CLI (CI/CD)

bash
npx @guardbee/mcp-slopsquat-scanner scan . --fail-on=critical --format=sarif > results.sarif

ToolDescription
scan_npmChecks every declared npm dependency in a directory's package.json
scan_pipChecks every declared pip dependency (requirements.txt / pyproject.toml)
check_packageChecks a single package name against npm or PyPI
scan_directoryAuto-detects and checks both npm and pip manifests

Limitations (by design)

  • Direct dependencies only. A hallucinated or squatted name inside a transitive dependency (something a package you depend on itself depends on) isn't checked — that package's own maintainers already resolved it against a real registry when they published.
  • The "recently published" signal is genuinely ambiguous. Real new packages get published constantly; this is reported at low severity specifically because it is not proof of anything, only a "look closer" prompt.
  • Network-dependent. Every check is a live HTTP request to the npm/PyPI registry — a project with many dependencies means many requests (bounded to 8 concurrent at a time), and a registry outage or rate limit will show up as a tool error, not a false "doesn't exist" finding (registry errors are reported separately from a genuine 404).
  • No version-pin awareness. This checks whether the name exists, not whether the specific version range you've pinned is itself suspicious — that's a different, already-covered problem (see @guardbee/mcp-dependency-auditor for known-CVE checking).

Development

bash
npm run buildnpm test             # 18 unit tests

scan_npm

Check every dependency declared in a package.json (dependencies, devDependencies, peerDependencies, optionalDependencies) against the real npm registry -- flags any package name that doesn't exist at all (a likely LLM-hallucinated dependency an attacker may have pre-registered, i.e. 'slopsquatting'), and separately notes any that exist but were only first published very recently.
