Perplexity

Automate Terminal Security Audits

`export_all_issues` dumps your entire organizational security posture into standard output. Claude Code runs this headless in your CI/CD pipeline to block deployments if high-severity vulnerabilities appear. Managing compliance from the command line is fast and scriptable. You can pipe `get_iso_compliance` or `get_soc2_compliance` into a cron job that alerts your Slack channel whenever a control fails.

Map Infrastructure from the CLI

`list_virtual_machines` and `list_containers` pull your exact attack surface directly into your shell session. Claude Code formats this data to find rogue instances or outdated Docker images without touching a browser. DevOps engineers can audit environments in seconds. Running `list_cloud_assets` alongside `list_connected_clouds` lets you verify terraform applies worked correctly and security policies attached properly across regions.

Manage Webhooks via MCP Server

`list_webhooks` exposes your security event notification routing to the terminal. Claude Code checks these configurations to ensure your Jira or PagerDuty integrations are active and firing correctly. Troubleshooting alerts takes zero clicks. You verify the webhook targets, check `list_teams` to confirm the right engineers are assigned, and audit `list_users` to lock down permissions all from a single SSH session.

Common questions about Aikido Security MCP in Claude Code

Run the add command with the transport flag set to http and provide the Vinkius URL. Make sure all flags come before the server name in your terminal. The configuration saves automatically to your local JSON file.

You can run the CLI headless inside any runner. It authenticates using your single endpoint token and queries your open issues before allowing a merge. Failing compliance checks will break the build exactly as configured.

The server returns raw JSON data for every API call. The CLI agent parses this output and formats it as readable text in your shell. You can also pipe the raw output into jq for custom processing.

The CLI accepts parameters to filter open issues by specific team IDs or repository names. You get a targeted list of CVEs relevant only to the engineers you specify. This keeps terminal output clean and actionable.

Asset regions, user emails, and internal webhook endpoints pass through a stateless proxy architecture. The system authenticates your token, executes the command, and completely wipes the execution environment. We retain zero copies of your cloud footprint.
