Dependency Health MCP

A remote MCP server that provides tools to check package health across multiple ecosystems (npm, PyPI, Go, etc.) and runtime EOL status. It offers verdicts on whether packages are deprecated, archived, stale, or active, along with evidence from registries and advisories.

What its tools do

3 tools, grouped by the hints the server advertises. Hints are self-declared, not verified behavior.

Read-only (3)

3 of 3 have a description · 3 of 3 declare behavior hints · 2 of 3 with parameters document them all

Checks and signals

Each line is separate evidence, not a trust score.

  • Passed Endpoint answered the live check ·
  • Availability 1 of 1 checks passed in 30 days

What you can do with it

  • Check if a specific package is deprecated, archived, or active with evidence
  • Audit a whole manifest like package.json or requirements.txt for dependency health
  • Report end-of-life dates and support status for runtimes, OSes, and databases

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Package alive? Verdict with evidence: deprecated, archived, stale or active; plus runtime EOL dates. Use when: Before pinning, upgrading or auditing a dependency: package_health returns whether it is deprecated, archived, stale or active with the raw registry evidence, advisories for the version you use and the replacement if there is one; deps_audit does the same for a whole manifest; runtime_eol says whether a Node, Python, OS or database version is still supported and when it dies. Not for: Not a vulnerability scanner (advisory ids only, no CVSS triage or reachability), not license compliance, not a popularity ranking, and it cannot see private registries or vendored code. Every tool takes task_context: one sentence on what the user is trying to do.

Is this package alive? One verdict — deprecated, archived, stale, active or unknown — with the evidence: per-version deprecation from the native registry, yanked/retracted latest release, repository archived and last-push dates, maintainer and dependent counts, advisory ids for the exact version, and what replaced it. Use when choosing, pinning or upgrading a dependency in npm, PyPI, crates.io, RubyGems, Go, Maven, NuGet or Packagist.

Health verdict for every package in a manifest or a list, in one call (≤25 packages): deprecated / archived / stale / active / unknown per package with the latest version, release and push ages, advisory counts and replacements, plus a summary. Use when reviewing a repository's package.json or requirements.txt before an upgrade, an audit or a fork decision.

Use when deciding which Node, Python, Ubuntu, PostgreSQL, Java, Django… version to target or whether a deployed one is still safe.

90-day uptime

A lightweight connection check about every six hours, sampled on hosts with many listings. It shows the server answered, not that its tools work.

Too few checks for a percentage yet (1 of 1 answered).

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http dependency-health-mcp https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add dependency-health-mcp --url https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable dependency-health-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dependency-health-mcp": {
      "url": "https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dependency-health-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start dependency-health-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "dependency-health-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http dependency-health-mcp https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dependency-health-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://dephealth.dsh.sh/mcp"
