NorthCinder Your shopping agent should work for you. AI agents are starting to do more than answer shopping questions. Soon they will decide which products people see and, in some cases, buy on their behalf. Big marketplaces are building the easiest version of this: an agent that searches one catalog and steers the buyer toward that platform's checkout. That may be convenient, but it is not independent advice. The marketplace still decides what can be seen and makes money when the agent closes the sale. NorthCinder takes a different approach. It compares products from the sources you choose and shows where its facts came from. Before it buys anything, it asks for your approval. NorthCinder is software you run alongside your AI app. The repository owner does not operate a NorthCinder service. There is no NorthCinder account or cloud service. Get started You need Node.js 20 or later and an MCP-capable AI app. The command saves your configuration on your computer and prints the MCP entry for your AI app. Local mode is keyless. It runs the MCP server and search engine together in one process, using a temporary loopback port.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
