# Get your first scan running

Inspect a package before you install it, with a report tied to the bytes scanned.

## 10 full scans a day, free

No card, wallet or account required. Your allowance refills daily. A failed scan uses no credits.

Form: `POST https://lazaretto.dev/v1/trial`.

The next page shows your key and setup instructions. Save the key before you leave: we store only its hash.

## Choose where to use it

1. **One package:** run a scan and inspect the evidence.
2. **Every pull request:** add the GitHub Action to check new dependency versions.
3. **Your agent:** connect the remote MCP server with the same key.

## Need more than 10 scans a day?

Buy a prepaid pack for CI or a larger dependency review. One credit pays for one successful full scan. Purchased credits never expire and can be used beyond the free daily allowance.

[See scan packs and pay by card](https://lazaretto.dev/buy)

Already have a key? Enter it at checkout to add credits to the same key. Automatic reload stays off unless you choose it.

A clear result means no indicator or rule matched at scan time. It does not guarantee safety.
