Show HN: CLI that helps AI agents avoid vulnerable dependencies

modelorona2 pts0 comments

deptrust is a CLI that checks package versions for known vulnerabilities across npm, PyPI, crates.io, Go modules, RubyGems, NuGet, Maven, Packagist, pub.dev, CocoaPods, Hex.pm, Hackage, GitHub Actions, and more.It runs locally as a CLI and as an MCP server. It calls public package registry and OSV APIs directly; there is no hosted deptrust service.I built this because AI coding agents kept suggesting outdated or vulnerable package versions. I kept having to manually tell tools like Claude and Codex to use newer, safer versions.deptrust gives the agent a quick way to verify whether a dependency version has known vulnerabilities before it installs or recommends it.You can install it with:1. pnpx @clidey/deptrust@latest install2. brew install clidey/tap/deptrust3. Or directly with go: go install github.com/clidey/deptrust/cmd/deptrust@latest

deptrust install package versions clidey agents
