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.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Salt Security into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Salt Security and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
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 Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
