Do I need to install an MCP server separately?

Yes, this skill requires the Maven Tools MCP server to be configured in your environment, typically via a Docker container.

Can it identify security vulnerabilities?

Absolutely. It includes a security scan feature that checks your dependencies against known CVE databases to identify risks.

How does it handle non-stable library versions?

You can set stability filters like PREFER_STABLE or STABLE_ONLY to control whether Claude recommends release candidates, betas, or only final versions.

Does this skill work with Gradle projects?

Yes, while the skill is named 'Maven Tools', it works with any JVM project using standard Maven coordinates, including those managed by Gradle.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Provides deep intelligence for JVM dependencies, including version tracking, security scans, and license auditing for Maven and Gradle projects.

Acerca de

The Maven Tools skill empowers Claude with specialized knowledge of the JVM ecosystem, enabling it to analyze pom.xml and build.gradle files with precision. It automates the tedious tasks of checking for library updates, identifying security vulnerabilities (CVEs), and evaluating project health through release patterns and dependency age. By integrating directly with Maven Central via an MCP server, it ensures developers make informed decisions about library upgrades, maintenance risks, and license compliance without leaving their coding environment.

Características Principales

Automated security scanning for known CVEs in Java, Kotlin, and Scala dependencies.
Comprehensive project health scoring based on maintenance activity and release patterns.
License auditing to ensure legal compliance across the entire dependency tree.
Real-time version discovery and stability filtering including Stable, RC, and Beta versions.
4 GitHub stars
Deep version comparison to identify risks and breaking changes during upgrades.

Casos de Uso

Determining if a specific library version is stable and safe for production use.
Planning major framework migrations with automated version and security impact analysis.
Auditing a legacy pom.xml for security vulnerabilities and outdated libraries.
