Socket MCP introduces real-time security scanning for AI-generated code dependencies through the Model Context Protocol. The tool addresses emerging threats like slopsquatting, where AI models hallucinate non-existent package names that attackers can exploit. By integrating with AI assistants like GitHub Copilot and Claude, Socket MCP enables developers to check dependency security scores instantly during code generation, shifting security validation earlier in the development process rather than waiting for pull request scans.
