In MCP Servers

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade D reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage D is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (1 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Patsnap Patent & Literature Search safe?

Public trust evidence for Patsnap Patent & Literature Search is thin: several supply-chain signals are missing or weak. This does not mean the project is unsafe — it means an outside observer cannot easily verify the usual integrity checks. Treat with extra scrutiny.
Does Patsnap Patent & Literature Search publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Patsnap Patent & Literature Search. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does Patsnap Patent & Literature Search have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for Patsnap Patent & Literature Search. Maintainers can enable the Scorecard GitHub Action to get a public score; without it, automated supply-chain hygiene is harder for outsiders to verify.
Is Patsnap Patent & Literature Search actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 6 day(s).
What license does Patsnap Patent & Literature Search use?
Patsnap Patent & Literature Search ships under Apache-2.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Patsnap Patent & Literature Search's commits signed?
30% of the last 100 commits to Patsnap Patent & Literature Search are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.
