~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vigile": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "vigile-mcp"]
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio vigile --scope user -- npx -y vigile-mcp
Or add to your project's .mcp.json:
{
"vigile": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "vigile-mcp"]
}
}
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"vigile": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "vigile-mcp"]
}
}
}
VS Code (Copilot)

What It Does
Vigile scans and scores MCP servers and agent skills for security issues like tool poisoning, data exfiltration, prompt injection, and supply chain attacks. This MCP server brings those trust scores into your AI workflow — so your coding assistant can check whether a tool is safe before using it.
Covers servers from npm, Smithery, PyPI, and other registries, plus agent skills from Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw/ClawHub, and more.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
vigile_check_server | Look up trust score for an MCP server by name or package |
vigile_check_skill | Look up trust score for an agent skill (claude.md, .cursorrules, OpenClaw skills, etc.) |
vigile_scan_content | Scan raw content from a claude.md, .cursorrules, skill.md, or similar file for security issues |
vigile_search | Search the Vigile trust registry by keyword |
vigile_verify_location | Verify whether a skill uses location data safely and check for location-based attack patterns |
Example Usage
Once installed, your AI assistant can use these tools naturally:
"Check if @anthropic/mcp-server-filesystem is safe" "Scan this claude.md file for security issues" "Search for database MCP servers and show me their trust scores"
Trust Scores
Vigile rates every server and skill on a 0-100 scale:
| Score | Level | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 80-100 | Trusted | No significant issues found |
| 60-79 | Caution | Minor issues, review recommended |
| 40-59 | Risky | Notable security concerns |
| 0-39 | Dangerous | Critical issues, do not use |
Authentication
By default, vigile-mcp uses the public Vigile registry (rate-limited). For higher limits, set your API key:
{
"mcpServers": {
"vigile": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "vigile-mcp"],
"env": {
"VIGILE_API_KEY": "vgl_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Get an API key at vigile.dev.
Rate Limits
| Tier | Scans/min | Monthly Quota |
|---|---|---|
| Free (no key) | 10 | 50 |
| Pro ($30/mo) | 60 | 1,000 |
| Pro+ ($100/mo) | 300 | 5,000 |
Registry lookups (vigile_check_server, vigile_check_skill, vigile_search) do not count against your scan quota. Only vigile_scan_content consumes scans.
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- An MCP-compatible client
