stillrunning-pip

The zero-config pip wrapper that catches malicious packages before they install. Try it in 5 seconds. No setup, no signup, no config.

Try it now

pip install stillrunning-pip
stillrunning-pip install requests

That's it. Every package you install is now checked against 200,000+ verified malicious packages from OSV.dev, GitHub Advisory, and 6 other threat intelligence sources, updated nightly.

What you get for free

• 10 scans per day per IP, no signup required
• Blocks confirmed-malicious packages automatically
• Warns about suspicious packages
• Works with pip install <pkg> and pip install -r requirements.txt
• 5-second installs, 5-second scans

Replace pip globally (optional)

alias pip='stillrunning-pip'

Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc for every install in every project to be scanned.

Hit the rate limit?

Get the full stillrunning package — covers pip, uv, poetry, pdm, pipenv, conda, pixi, npm, bun, pnpm, with unlimited scans, AI analysis of unknown packages, and import-time protection:

pip install stillrunning

stillrunning.io/pricing for paid tiers.

How it works

Before each install, stillrunning-pip queries the public API:

GET https://stillrunning.io/api/check-package?name=<pkg>

If the package is on the verified blocklist, the install is halted with a clear message. Every block traces back to a public security advisory you can verify yourself at stillrunning.io/security-advisories.

Power user features

Set STILLRUNNING_TOKEN to unlock unlimited scans and AI analysis of unknown packages. Get a token at stillrunning.io/pricing.

export STILLRUNNING_TOKEN=sr_...
stillrunning-pip install <pkg>

Bypass scanning

If you need to install something stillrunning is blocking and you've verified it's safe:

pip install <package>

Just use vanilla pip directly. stillrunning-pip is opt-in via being the binary you call.

Relationship to stillrunning

stillrunning-pip is the simplest member of the stillrunning family. It does one thing: scans pip installs against the verified threat database.

For broader coverage (uv, poetry, pdm, pipenv, conda, pixi, npm, bun, pnpm), import-time protection, MCP server for Claude Code, GitHub Action for CI, and unlimited scans, install the main package: pip install stillrunning.
