How do I get an Aikido API token and where do I find it?

Log in to your Aikido dashboard, click on **User Settings** in the header, then navigate to **Personal Access Tokens**. Click to create a new token and copy it immediately — you'll only see it once. The token typically starts with `aik_`. Paste it into the API token field below.

What types of security issues can Aikido detect?

Aikido detects a wide range of security issues including: open source vulnerabilities (CVEs in dependencies), leaked secrets and API keys, cloud misconfigurations (AWS, GCP, Azure), SAST findings (code-level vulnerabilities), IaC issues (Terraform, CloudFormation), container vulnerabilities, DAST findings, malware detection, end-of-life dependencies, SCM security issues, and license compliance. You can filter issues by type when querying.

Can I check my compliance status for ISO 27001 and SOC2?

Yes! Use the `get_iso_compliance` tool for ISO 27001 and `get_soc2_compliance` for SOC2. These endpoints provide a complete compliance overview showing which controls or criteria are passing, failing, or need attention. Both are available on all paid Aikido plans and are perfect for audit preparation and ongoing compliance monitoring.

How does Aikido prioritize security issues?

Aikido automatically prioritizes open issue groups by priority (descending). The prioritization considers factors like severity (critical, high, medium, low), exploitability, whether the vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, and the context of the affected resource. This means you always see the most dangerous and actionable vulnerabilities first, helping your team focus on what matters most.

Aikido Security + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Aikido Security MCP Server with Pydantic AI.

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Aikido Security MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
