Contract Security Scanner — MCP Server
Scan any Base L2 smart contract for security risks directly from your AI assistant.
3 tools exposed:
scan_contract— Full security scan (source verification, risky selectors, age, activity)batch_scan— Compare up to 5 contracts side by sideinterpret_risk— Get an actionable recommendation (SAFE / CAUTION / HIGH_RISK / DO_NOT_USE)
Risk score: 0-100. Analyzes: mint/blacklist/backdoor functions, proxy patterns, source verification, contract age, transaction activity.
Installation
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"contract-scanner": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/sam/Desktop/samDev/p8/mcp/server.js"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. The tools appear automatically.
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):
{

Cline (VS Code extension)
- Open Cline settings → MCP Servers → Add server
- Set type:
stdio - Command:
node /Users/sam/Desktop/samDev/p8/mcp/server.js
Any MCP client (generic)
The server uses stdio transport — just pipe JSON-RPC messages:
node /Users/sam/Desktop/samDev/p8/mcp/server.js
Usage examples
Once connected, just ask your AI assistant naturally:
"Scan this contract before I approve: 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913"
"Compare the risk of these 3 Aave clones: 0x... 0x... 0x..."
"Is this token safe to buy? 0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed"
What gets analyzed
| Check | Source |
|---|---|
| Source code verified? | BaseScan API |
| Mint / burn functions | Bytecode selector scan |
| Pause / freeze | Bytecode selector scan |
| Blacklist / whitelist | Bytecode selector scan |
| Backdoors (rescueTokens, withdrawAll) | Bytecode selector scan |
| Upgradeable proxy | BaseScan + delegatecall detection |

Risk scoring
| Score | Label | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0-9 | SAFE | No red flags |
| 10-29 | LOW | Minor concerns |
| 30-49 | MEDIUM | Elevated risk — review before interacting |
