Npm Sentinel Mcp
Audit npm dependencies from your coding agent before you ship or add a new package to a solo project.
Overview
NPM Sentinel MCP is a MCP server for the Ship phase that gives your agent AI-assisted npm package security, dependency, and performance analysis.
What is this MCP server?
- stdio MCP server runnable via npx @nekzus/mcp-server (v1.9.0)
- AI-assisted analysis of npm packages for security, dependency graph, and performance signals
- Fits pre-install and pre-release reviews without leaving Claude Code or Cursor

What problem does it solve?
Solo builders often add npm packages without a fast, agent-native way to see security and dependency risk before those packages land in production.
Who is it for?
Indie Node and full-stack builders who want dependency vetting inside Claude Code or Cursor while researching or updating packages.
Skip if: Teams that already enforce centralized SBOM and security gates only in CI and do not want agent-driven registry lookups.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register NPM Sentinel MCP, your agent can surface package analysis in chat so you can reject or upgrade risky dependencies before merge or release.
- Agent-callable tools that return npm package security and dependency insights
- Faster go/no-go decisions on third-party packages during implementation
