Not claimed by its maker. Is this yours? Prove it and answer the findings

The registry now serves 1.22.4. Everything measured on this page describes 1.21.0.

Findings, provenance and the install command are records of the scanned version, not the one npm would give you today. Treat them as history until this listing is rescanned. Registry checked 2026-10-02.

How far this has been checked

Static scanned

What it establishes: Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
What it does not: How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
Exactly what was read: Version 1.21.0, the file with digest sha512-zt8FXKaM4oy5Qs5oOxHtgwchDUOviMOY8TAW1GAtyi/trs+G8EEveuuvAjkWa4Z22mW7fO+b9JSqEp7NpRPo6g==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.

How the rungs work

Adding it

Paste this into your client's MCP configuration.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zoteus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@oscardvs/zoteus@1.21.0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly.

npx -y @oscardvs/zoteus@1.21.0

Pinned to 1.21.0, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

Open the source

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.

The badge, if this is your listing

It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
