Only install plugins from developers you trust. We list what marketplaces publish and do not test plugins.
Package
npm @oscardvs/zoteus (@oscardvs/zoteus on npm)
- npm downloads/week: 371 (2026-10-12)
- npm downloads/month: 6 515 (2026-10-12)
- Latest version on npm: 1.22.4, published 2026-10-01
No known vulnerabilities in OSV for 1.22.4 (checked 2026-10-12)
npm facts come from the public npm registry (registry.npmjs.org, api.npmjs.org). Each figure is the registry's own and is never added to another. A registry that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero. Vulnerability records come from OSV.dev (CC BY 4.0) and concern the declared version only; a listing that declares no version gets no answer. We do not scan code.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
