MCP server & agents

The fastest way to try 4DA is to plug it into the AI tools you already use. One command:

npx @4da/mcp-server

This scans your project, detects your stack, and gives your assistant live vulnerability scanning, dependency health, upgrade planning, and ecosystem intelligence. No API keys. No accounts. Works standalone — no desktop app required.

Connect your client

Point any MCP-compatible client — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code (Copilot) — at the server. A typical config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "4da": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@4da/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

The 14 tools

9 tools work standalone, with zero setup — vulnerability scanning, dependency health, upgrade planning, ecosystem news, pre-task briefings, decision memory, and cross-session agent memory.

5 more activate with the desktop app — your scored content feed, actionable signals, knowledge gaps, feedback learning, and Developer DNA.

Every tool reliably returns useful data; none are stubs. The standalone tools mean an agent gets real value the moment it connects, before you've installed anything else.

Why an agent wants this

  • Security in the loop — the agent can check your dependencies against CVE/OSV before it suggests an upgrade.
  • Persistent memory — decisions and context carry across sessions and across tools, so the agent doesn't relearn your project every morning.
  • Pre-task briefs — tailored startup context for whatever you're about to work on.

Next: CLI.
