License Compliance Scan

Spot license conflicts in your dependency tree before they become a problem. Read-only and advisory — it flags risks, it doesn't change anything, and it is not legal advice.

Prerequisites

• None. Pure Claude Code — reads dependency manifests and your LICENSE directly, no MCP required.

Trigger

• "Check my dependency licenses"
• "Any license conflicts in this project?"
• "License compliance scan"

Workflow

1. Identify the project's own license (from LICENSE/package.json/pyproject.toml, etc.).
2. Read dependency manifests present: package.json, requirements.txt/pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml, Gemfile, pom.xml, etc. List declared dependencies and, where stated, their licenses.
3. Compare each dependency's license against the project's and report file:line (the manifest entry), severity, and the obligation.
