About Salt Security MCP Server
Connect your AI directly with Salt Security to proactively defend your Application Programming Interface (API) environment. Improve API discovery, manage security posture, and remediate threats in real-time through simple conversational prompts.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Salt Security tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- API Inventory & Discovery — View all auto-discovered APIs in your environment, including unknown or shadow APIs (
get_inventory). Retrieve schema details, identify exposed sensitive data (PII), and analyze structural drifts (get_endpoint). - Threat Intelligence & Monitoring — Monitor active API attacks and business logic abuses as they happen (
get_attacks). Profile known threat actors to uncover behavioral patterns (get_attackers). - Active Remediation — Respond to incidents immediately by triggering blockade commands against attackers, seamlessly passing instructions to your integrated WAFs (
block_attacker). - Posture & Governance Assessment — Identify design flaws and vulnerabilities before they reach production (
get_posture_vulnerabilities). Manage OpenAPI (OAS) specifications (list_oas_specs,upload_oas_spec) and verify active governance rules (get_governance_policies).
The Salt Security MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
