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.
