Do I need to install anything to use Scannd?

Yes. Scannd runs as a local process, so the package has to be installed on the machine where the client runs.

How do I install Scannd?

Install the npm package scannd-mcp and run it with npx -y scannd-mcp.

Does Scannd need an API key?

Yes. It reads 1 environment variable from the environment, so you need to supply SCANND_API_KEY before the server will start.

What is SCANND_API_KEY used for in Scannd?

Scannd API key (starts with sk_). Sent to the hosted API as the X-API-Key header. Get one at https://scannd.com; the free tier includes 2 scans/month.

Which transport does Scannd use?

Stdio. Your client has to support that transport to connect.

Where is the source code for Scannd?

The publisher lists https://github.com/zachforrest/webscannerio as the source repository.

Is Scannd an official server?

It is published under the namespace com.scannd, which means the publisher proved control of that domain when registering. That confirms who published it, not that it has been reviewed for quality or security.

Which version of Scannd is listed here?

Version 0.1.0, taken from the latest registry entry.

Tools

The publisher has not disclosed a tool manifest. The tool list can only be seen by connecting to the server, which this catalogue does not do on the publisher's behalf.

Command line alternative

None found. The published package declares no executable and no matching Homebrew formula exists, so the MCP server appears to be the only route. This is a negative result from automated checks, not a statement from the publisher.

Repository signals

The repository the publisher listed no longer resolves. It may have been renamed, made private or deleted.
