Socket Security Visual Studio Code Extension

This extension provides automatic reporting of security concerns from Socket Security. The features of this extension aim to provide guidance through all stages of development.

Ahead of Package Installation

• Package imports in JavaScript and Python are detected and given summary scores to show concerns with configurable overlays. These overlays will persist even after package installation.

• Socket detects multiple alternate forms of package imports, including dynamic import() or require in JavaScript or importlib.import_module in Python.

MCP Server

• This will automatically register the socket MCP server at https://mcp.socket.dev to allow usage of the public MCP server.
