summary: >-
  Kolide publishes NO first-party HTTP client SDK for the K2 API in any language.
  Its public first-party Go modules are the open-source device agent (launcher) and a
  shared internal toolkit (kit), not API client libraries. The official MCP server is
  distributed as source from GitHub only — it is not published to PyPI. The one npm
  package matching "kolide" is a third-party re-implementation, not first-party.

  description: >-
    The open-source Kolide osquery launcher, autoupdater and packager — the endpoint
    agent that reports device state to Kolide. Not a client library for the K2 API.

  description: >-
    First-party MCP server wrapping the K2 API. Installed from source with uv or pip -e;
    not published to PyPI (pypi.org/pypi/kolide-mcp returns 404 as of this probe).
- language: javascript
  registry: npm

  url: https://www.npmjs.com/package/kolide-mcp-server
  install: npm install kolide-mcp-server
  official: false
  kind: mcp-server
  description: >-
    Third-party MCP server for Kolide. Repository field points at
    github.com/CoreWeave-Sandbox/kolide-mcp-server and the sole npm maintainer is an
    individual account — NOT first-party Kolide.
gaps:
- No first-party JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, PHP or .NET client
  library for the K2 REST API is published on any registry.
- The official MCP server would benefit from a PyPI release so it is installable
  without cloning.
