depsonar is an MCP server that keeps your projects' dependencies up to date, scans for vulnerabilities, detects framework migrations, and audits your entire dev infrastructure — directly from Cursor, Claude, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
Supports Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, PHP, Ruby, Dart/Flutter, Swift, and Kotlin/Java.
Why depsonar?
With AI-generated "vibe coding" projects, dependency maintenance is an afterthought. WordPress solved this with one-click updates. depsonar brings the same experience to modern development — plus security scanning, migration detection, and infrastructure auditing.
Features
Dependency Management
- Multi-language: 9 languages, auto-detected
- Framework-aware: SvelteKit, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Django, Laravel, Express...
- Safe updates: 3 levels (patch/minor/latest) with dry-run preview
- Batch operations: Update all projects at once
- Ecosystem grouping: Results grouped by Svelte, Supabase, Tailwind, Vite, etc.
Security & Compliance
- Live CVE scanning via osv.dev API (npm, PyPI, crates.io, Go, PHP, Ruby)
- Framework CVE database: Curated advisories for Svelte, Next.js, Vite, Express, Axios
- Native audit integration: npm audit, cargo audit, pip-audit, composer audit, govulncheck
- Secret scanner: Detects AWS keys, GitHub tokens, Stripe keys, database URLs, and more
- License compliance: Flags GPL/AGPL copyleft, non-commercial, and unknown licenses
Migration & Maintenance
- Migration detector: Identifies code patterns that need changing (Svelte 4→5 runes, Next.js Pages→App Router)
- Changelog preview: See breaking changes before updating
- Deprecated detection: Finds unmaintained packages and suggests replacements
- Health scores: 0-100 per project based on deps, security, lockfile, runtime
- Background checker: Scheduled scans via macOS launchd or Linux cron
Infrastructure Audit
- Runtime versions: Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, PHP, Ruby, Dart, Swift (EOL detection)
- Global toolchain: npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, cargo, pip, git, docker, vercel, supabase, wrangler
- Docker image audit: Detects outdated/EOL base images
- GitHub Actions audit: Flags deprecated actions across all workflows
- Environment check: .env sync, lockfile freshness, config validation

"args": ["-y", "depsonar"]
}
}
}
Option 2: Global install
npm install -g depsonar
{

Background Checker
The background checker scans your projects on a schedule and caches results. When you open Cursor, depsonar_alerts reads the cache instantly — zero wait.
- A lightweight script runs every N hours via macOS launchd or Linux cron
- Scans all projects, compares versions with registries
- Writes results to
~/.depsonar-cache.json, exits immediately - Zero RAM between runs, zero AI tokens, zero cost
Setup from Cursor: "Setup background checking every 6 hours"
Configuration
Set your projects directory (auto-detected from ~/Cursor/App, ~/Projects, ~/Developer, ~/Code, ~/dev):
// ~/.depsonarrc.json
{
"projectsDir": "/Users/me/my-projects"
}
Or from Cursor: "Set my projects directory to ~/Code"
