Fetter MCP
Fetter provides a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://mcp.fetter.io/mcp that gives AI coding agents real-time access to Python package vulnerability data. Built on fetter, it queries PyPI and OSV to surface known CVEs, CVSS scores, and safe versions so your agent can make informed dependency decisions as it writes code.

Tools
most_recent_not_vulnerable: find the latest release of a package that is free of known vulnerabilitiesis_vulnerable: check whether a specific pinned version has known CVEslookup: find available versions and their vulnerabilities for any package or specifier
Installation
The Fetter MCP server uses the HTTP transport and requires no local installation. Just register the remote URL with your MCP client.

Agent Usage
Once installed, the Fetter MCP tools are available to your AI agent during coding sessions. The agent can call them automatically when adding or auditing dependencies; no explicit tool invocation is required in your prompts.
Example Prompts
- “Add the latest safe version of requests to requirements.txt”
- “Are there any known vulnerabilities in my current dependencies?”
- “What is the most recent version of pillow with no CVEs?”
- “Before pinning cryptography, check whether 42.0.5 is vulnerable”
How It Works
The agent selects the appropriate tool based on context:
- Adding a new package:
most_recent_not_vulnerableto find a safe version - Validating a specific pinned version:
is_vulnerablefor a definitive answer - Auditing an existing specifier:
lookupto see affected versions
Most Recent Not Vulnerable
The most_recent_not_vulnerable tool finds the most recent version of a package that has no known vulnerabilities. Provide only a package name and the server will search recent releases for a safe version. Useful when pinning a dependency to the latest clean release.
Parameters
- package_namePackage name only (no version specifier), e.g.
"requests".

"id": 2,
"params": {
"name": "most_recent_not_vulnerable",

}Find Vulnerabilities
The is_vulnerable tool checks if a specific package version has known vulnerabilities. Requires an exact version specifier. Returns vulnerability IDs, summaries, CVSS scores, severity ratings, and reference URLs.
Parameters
- dep_specExact version specifier, e.g.
"requests==2.31.0".

}Search Packages
The lookup tool looks up a package by name and optional version specifier to find which versions are available and whether they have known vulnerabilities. Supports specifiers such as "requests", "numpy>=2.0", or "flask==3.0.0".
Parameters
- dep_specsPackage name or version specifier.
- cvss_thresholdFilter to vulnerabilities at or above this CVSS score (0–10).
- max_observed_scoreReturn only the highest CVSS score per version rather than all individual vulnerabilities.
- countLimit the number of recent versions checked.
- retain_passingInclude versions with no known vulnerabilities in the results.
