SafeDep Platform
safedep.io
What it is
SafeDep Platform helps teams identify and govern risks in open-source dependencies, from package installation through code review and inventory. Its package monitor checks installs against threat intelligence and policy before post-install scripts can run. The platform scans dependencies, analyzes their actual use, applies policy as code, and generates SBOMs. A GitHub App scans pull requests for malware, vulnerabilities, and license issues, and can act as a required check. Its MCP server checks packages requested by AI agents and attributes each request; named supported agents include Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Inventory can cover coding agents, MCP servers, CLI tools, skills, scope, and version. Supported ecosystems include npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, Ruby, Rust, and PHP, along with Docker and OCI images, CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs, GitHub repositories, and GitLab projects. The platform also provides centralized policies, organization-wide findings, audit trails, and compliance reports. The Free plan is free for up to three SDLC endpoints. Team costs $100 a month for five endpoints; Enterprise pricing is custom.
