How to Use the Aikido Security MCP in Cursor
Fix vulnerabilities as you write code by pulling Aikido Security findings directly into Cursor Agent.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Aikido Security MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Aikido Security to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Feed live vulnerability data to Cursor Agent
`list_open_issues` fetches your active code vulnerabilities and leaked secrets directly into the Cursor editor environment. The tool exposes the exact files, lines, and CVE details that need immediate attention. Because Cursor Agent reads this output directly, it can automatically open the offending local files and write targeted patches. You bypass the manual copy-paste routine entirely by letting the editor fix the security bugs it finds.
Audit your SAST rules using the Cursor MCP Server
`list_custom_rules` retrieves your team's custom static analysis rules directly into your active workspace. The tool lets you check what custom security checks your codebase must pass before you commit any new code. Cursor can write new tests or modify your code to align with these rules before your CI pipeline runs. This keeps your local development aligned with your organization's security policies.
Inspect container and dependency security in your editor
`list_containers` pulls scans of your Docker images and registry repositories directly into your active Cursor chat. The tool identifies vulnerable base images and outdated packages that need immediate updates. You can ask Cursor to write an updated Dockerfile based on the findings returned by the tool. It replaces high-risk base images with secure alternatives without you searching online registries.
