How to Set Up and Use Dependency Management
The Sonatype Dependency Management MCP server integrates Sonatype's component intelligence platform into AI assistants, allowing developers to query security vulnerability data, license information, and Trust Score recommendations for open-source dependencies directly in their workflow. It exposes tools to look up specific component versions, fetch the latest stable version of a library, and get upgrade recommendations — all backed by Sonatype's continuous threat intelligence. This is especially useful for security-conscious teams who want to audit dependencies without leaving their IDE or chat interface.
Prerequisites
- A Sonatype account with access to guide.sonatype.com
- A personal API token generated from https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Create a Sonatype API token
Log in to https://guide.sonatype.com and navigate to Settings > Tokens. Generate a personal API token and copy it — you will need it in your MCP configuration.
Add the server via Claude Code (recommended)
For Claude Code users, add the Sonatype MCP server using the HTTP transport with your Bearer token in the Authorization header.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user sonatype-mcp https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"Or configure Claude Desktop manually
For Claude Desktop or other MCP clients, add the server as an HTTP-transport entry in your configuration file with the Authorization header.
{
"mcpServers": {
"sonatype-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.guide.sonatype.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SONATYPE_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or reload your MCP client so it connects to the Sonatype MCP endpoint with your credentials.
Query component security data
Ask your AI assistant to analyze a dependency. The server supports getComponentVersion, getLatestComponentVersion, and getRecommendedComponentVersions for any package across major ecosystems.

Authentication error: 401 Unauthorized
Your Sonatype API token may be expired or incorrectly formatted. Regenerate the token at https://guide.sonatype.com/settings/tokens and ensure the Authorization header value is exactly 'Bearer <your_token>' with no extra whitespace.
Component not found for a package query
Sonatype indexes packages from major ecosystems (Maven, npm, PyPI, NuGet, etc.). Ensure you are providing the correct package name and ecosystem. For Maven components, include the groupId and artifactId in the format 'groupId:artifactId'.
HTTP transport not supported by your MCP client
Not all MCP clients support HTTP transport. Check your client's documentation for HTTP/SSE transport support. Claude Code supports it natively via the --transport http flag in the mcp add command.
