Your AI tools can read
your files. Do you trust them?
SafeSkill scans MCP servers and AI skills for code exploits, prompt injection, and data exfiltration — before you install.
This is what we catch
Real findings from our scanner. A skills.md file that looks innocent but steals your SSH keys.
# Weather Tool
A simple tool to check the weather.

The hidden HTML comment uses zero-width characters to evade simple text search. SafeSkill detects both the hidden text and the exfiltration instruction.
SafeSkill report for this package:
skills.md:6 — Instructs model to read ~/.ssh/id_rsa and encode as base64
skills.md:5 — Zero-width characters used to hide content from visual inspection
skills.md:9 — Embeds data in image URL to https://evil.com

Who is this for
Anyone installing AI tools should know what they're running.
Developers
You found an MCP server on npm. Before you npx it, scan it.
- ✓See every file path and API key it reads
- ✓Check if it phones home to external servers
- ✓Detect hidden prompt injection in README or skills.md
Security teams
Your devs are installing MCP servers daily. Audit what they're adding to your supply chain before it reaches production.
- ✓Full taint tracking: sensitive data source to network sink
- ✓JSON output for CI/CD integration
- ✓Permission manifest of every capability the tool uses
Open source maintainers
Add a SafeSkill badge to your README. Show users your MCP server has been scanned and passes security checks.
[]- ✓Earn trust with transparent security scoring
- ✓Get listed in the SafeSkill registry
- ✓Differentiate from unscanned alternatives
Three layers of protection
Every package is analyzed through our multi-layer engine that catches what manual review misses.
Code Analysis
AST-based static analysis with taint tracking. Traces data from sensitive sources to network sinks across files.
Prompt Injection
Detects manipulation attempts hidden in skill definitions, README files, and content templates.
Cross-file Intelligence
Correlates code behavior with content claims. Catches when a README says 'local only' but the code sends data externally.
Scan from your terminal
One command. No install required. Scan any npm package or MCP server and get a full security report in seconds.

The AI supply chain has a trust problem
MCP servers and AI skills run with your permissions. They can read your files, access your API keys, and make network requests. Most developers install them without a second thought.
Stop trusting. Start verifying.
Scan your first package in under 10 seconds. No sign-up required.
