Audit compliance status right inside Claude Desktop

`get_iso_compliance` and `get_soc2_compliance` fetch your current audit readiness status directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. The server pulls live checks from your Aikido account to show which controls are passing or failing without forcing you to log into a browser dashboard. You get immediate compliance data formatted as clean text right in your workspace. Ask the desktop client to summarize the failing controls and it will parse the raw JSON to list your exact remediation steps.

Track down open vulnerabilities with this MCP Server

`list_open_issues` pulls your active security findings directly into Claude Desktop so you can triage them during your daily standup. The tool queries open vulnerabilities across your repositories and cloud environments, filtering by type like leaked secrets or container flaws. Once you pinpoint a critical bug, use `get_issue_group` to pull the exact CVE details and file locations. Claude Desktop reads this data locally, letting you write fix scripts or plan patches right in your chat interface.

Map your cloud and repository attack surface

`list_code_repositories` and `list_cloud_assets` expose your entire monitored infrastructure to your desktop agent using this MCP tool. The tools return lists of active repos, cloud accounts, and virtual machines currently connected to your security dashboard. You can also use `list_containers` and `list_virtual_machines` to check for unmonitored images or exposed instances. This lets you ask Claude Desktop to compare your actual cloud footprint against your monitored assets to find blind spots.
