Skylos

Overview

Skylos is a Model Context Protocol server that detects dead code, security vulnerabilities, secrets, and code quality issues across Python, TypeScript, and Go projects. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Skylos tools directly during conversations and agent runs, making code analysis a natural part of your workflow.

The server runs locally via the skylos package, installed with uvx skylos. It communicates over stdio on your machine and requires an API Key for authentication. Skylos is published as v3.5.10 under the Apache-2.0 license, with source code and development happening at duriantaco/skylos on GitHub, where the project has earned 545 stars.

Skylos is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and integrates with all MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. Maintainers are invited to claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information current.
