# Check MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides CVE checking capabilities via the Opsify API. This server enables LLMs to search for and retrieve CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) information using a flexible set of filters.

> [!CAUTION]
> This server can access external APIs and may represent a security risk if misconfigured. Ensure your API key and usage comply with your organization's security policies.

```

### Example Tool Call

```json
{
  "tool": "search_cve",
  "arguments": {
    "product_name": "nginx",
    "severity": "high",
    "from_date": "2023-01-01",
    "limit": 5

}
```

## Installation

### Using uv (recommended)

When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed. We will
use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-server-check*.

### Using PIP

Alternatively you can install `mcp-server-check` via pip:

```
pip install mcp-server-check
```

After installation, you can run it as a script using:

```
python -m mcp_server_check
```

## Configuration

For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing `Ctrl + Shift + P` and typing `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)`.

Optionally, you can add it to a file called `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

> Note that the `mcp` key is needed when using the `mcp.json` file.

## Debugging

You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:

```
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-check
```

Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:

```
cd path/to/servers/src/check
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-check
```
