![Release](https://github.com/mdjahidanwar/dep-guard-mcp/actions/workflows/release.yml/badge.svg)

## Features

- 📦 **Multi-Language Support**:
  - Python (`requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`)
  - Node.js (`package.json`)
  - Java/Spring (`pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `build.gradle.kts`)
  - PHP (`composer.json`)
- 🎯 **Zero Config**: Automatic dependency discovery and scanning
- ⚡ **Multi-source Advisories**:
  - OSV API (free)
  - GitHub Advisory API (free public endpoint, optional `GITHUB_TOKEN` for higher rate limits)
- 🔧 **3 Core Tools**:
  - `scan_dependencies(target_path)` - Scan a project for vulnerabilities
  - `health_check()` - Verify server status
  - `get_supported_files()` - List scannable formats
- 🎨 **Clean Output**: JSON-formatted vulnerability reports with severity levels

## CLI Usage (Week 2)

```bash
# health check
dep-guard-scan health

# list supported files
dep-guard-scan supported-files

# scan and print JSON
dep-guard-scan scan /path/to/project

# scan and write report file
dep-guard-scan scan /path/to/project --output report.json

# fail CI if severity threshold is met
dep-guard-scan scan /path/to/project --fail-on-severity high

# disable GitHub advisories source
dep-guard-scan scan /path/to/project --no-github-advisories
```
