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 C reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage B is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (3 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Scout MCP Local safe?

Scout MCP Local has a mixed signal profile. Some trust indicators are present, others are missing. Whether it is safe for your use case depends on which gaps matter to you — review the breakdown below before adopting in production.

Does Scout MCP Local publish package provenance?

Yes. Scout MCP Local's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.

Does Scout MCP Local have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

Scout MCP Local has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 4.9/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.

Is Scout MCP Local actively maintained?

Slowing down. Last push was 76 days ago — keep an eye on whether activity resumes.

What license does Scout MCP Local use?

Scout MCP Local ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are Scout MCP Local's commits signed?

98% of the last 100 commits to Scout MCP Local 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.
