Project - Model Context Protocol for LLM-Based PyPI Package Analysis

  • Designed and implemented a Model Context Protocol (MCP) that structures metadata, static code insights, and behavioral cues from PyPI packages into a context-aware input for large language models
  • Enabled LLMs to generate concise, security-focused reports on package behavior, covering aspects like obfuscation, suspicious imports, install-time scripts, and potential malware indicators
  • MCP improves LLM response reliability and precision by separating benign utility patterns from truly anomalous or malicious traits.
  • Tech Stack - Python, AST parsing, JSON schema, OpenAI API / LLMs, PyPI API.
