Overview
What is SCANOSS MCP Server?
The SCANOSS MCP Server integrates SCANOSS’s open source scanning capabilities with the Model Context Protocol, allowing language models to scan code snippets for undeclared open source content, check license compliance for combinations of open source licenses, and get actionable insights on open source components in code.
How to use SCANOSS MCP Server?
Install via uv locally (uv venv, uv pip install -e .) or use the Docker image (docker pull mcp/scanoss-mcp-server). Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the appropriate command and environment variables (SCANOSS_API_KEY, SCANOSS_API_URL). Run the server and invoke tools such as scan_code_snippet.
