heimdall

heimdall is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from caglarbozkurt/mcp-heimdall. It costs 71 tokens per session (610 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security scanner for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which let AI assistants connect to external tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a local server, npm or PyPI package, GitHub repository, or tools-list file before installing or connecting it.
Why use it?
It helps check an MCP server for prompt injection, data theft, malicious behavior, and—when requested—known dependency vulnerabilities.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

heimdall scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Heimdall

Run a security scan on an MCP server and report the risk.

When to use

The user is about to install/connect an MCP server and wants to know if it's safe, or asks to "audit / scan / vet / check" an MCP, or pasted a tools/list output and asked whether the tool descriptions look poisoned.

How to run

From the Heimdall project directory:

# local server directory
npx tsx src/cli.ts <path-to-server>

# npm package, PyPI package (pypi:name), GitHub URL, or a tools/list JSON dump
npx tsx src/cli.ts <npm-package | pypi:name | github-url | tools.json>

# machine-readable
npx tsx src/cli.ts <target> --json

# also check the server's dependencies for known CVEs (queries OSV.dev over the network)
npx tsx src/cli.ts <target> --online

If installed globally / as a dependency, use heimdall <target> instead.

Add --online when the user wants supply-chain coverage: it checks declared dependencies against the OSV.dev advisory database and reports real CVE IDs. It sends only dependency names + versions (never source); leave it off to stay fully offline.

For a behavioral cross-check, heimdall validate <target> runs the server and calls its tools to observe what it actually does, then compares that to the static flags (confirmed / missed / not-exercised). It executes untrusted code with side effects — only suggest it in a disposable VM/container, never on the user's real machine.

To analyze injection with full fidelity when tool descriptions can't be read from source, capture the server's tools/list output to a file and pass --tools <file>.

Interpreting the result

  • verdict: pass / warn / fail. Any hard [GATE] finding forces fail.
  • risk score: 0 (clean) – 100 (worst).
  • fingerprint: stable hash of the tool surface. Save it; if it changes on a later scan, the MCP silently altered its tools (possible rug-pull).

Summarize the gates and highest-severity findings for the user, cite the evidence (file:line or tool:name), and give a clear install / don't-install recommendation. Never recommend installing a server with an unresolved GATE finding.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

heimdall is a skill published in the GitHub repository caglarbozkurt/mcp-heimdall (0 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 610 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
