About GitGuardian MCP Server

Connect your GitGuardian workspace to any AI agent to strengthen your security posture and manage secret leaks through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings GitGuardian data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 49 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

  • Incident Management — List, retrieve, and resolve secret incidents. Assign team members to leaks and track remediation progress.
  • Honeytokens — Create and manage decoy credentials (honeytokens) to detect unauthorized access to your private infrastructure.
  • Security Scanning — Scan code snippets or content for secrets and sensitive data in real-time to prevent leaks before they happen.
  • Audit & Compliance — Access detailed audit logs to monitor workspace activity and ensure compliance with security policies.
  • Team Collaboration — Manage teams, members, and API tokens to orchestrate security operations across your organization.

The GitGuardian MCP Server exposes 49 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

GitGuardian + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GitGuardian MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

01

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
02

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
03

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
04

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
