Mcp Check Licenses

mcp-license-audit

MCP server that audits your project's dependency licenses for compatibility issues. Flags GPL/AGPL conflicts and generates compliance reports.

What It Does

• Parses a package.json file (dependencies + devDependencies)
• Fetches license info for each package from the npm registry
• Classifies licenses: permissive (MIT, Apache, BSD, ISC), copyleft (GPL, AGPL), weak-copyleft (LGPL, MPL), unknown
• Detects conflicts (e.g., GPL dependency in an MIT-licensed project)
• Returns a structured JSON report with risk level and summary

Install

npm install -g mcp-license-audit
# or run directly:
npx mcp-license-audit

Configure in Claude Code

Add to your .claude/mcp.json or ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "license-audit": {
      "command": "npx",

    }
  }
