dep-scout is an MCP server that searches package registries to recommend existing libraries or MCP servers instead of having an AI agent build features from scratch. It ranks candidates by reuse quality and surfaces security advisories and license-compliance risks across Rust, npm, Python, Go, Maven, and NuGet ecosystems.

$ cargo build --releasePlease install the `dep-scout` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Rust toolchain** — A recent Rust toolchain is required to build the server from source (edition 2024). (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install/)
- **Build the dep-scout binary** — Build the release binary from the repository source. The executable will be produced at target/release/dep-scout (or dep-scout.exe on Windows). Run: `cargo build --release`
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `<absolute-path-to-dep-scout>/target/release/dep-scout`
- args: []
Note: The README states this server uses standard MCP over stdio. No API keys are required. Although the README also mentions using `cargo run --release` in a portable project config, the explicit repeatable canonical shape shown is running the built binary directly.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.Trending hip-hop artist momentum scores across four cultural dimensions.
