Questions

What is the aliensec-mcp-server MCP server?

👽 The AlienSec MCP Server is an AlienVault OTX endpoint security scanning MCP server with VirusTotal integration.

What tools does aliensec-mcp-server expose?

15 in total: 15 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is aliensec-mcp-server safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does aliensec-mcp-server need?

It reads ALIENVAULT_API_KEY, DATABASE_ENCRYPTION_KEY and VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEYS from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (025bf99fa81a), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
