Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the Semgrep MCP Server?
The Semgrep MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Semgrep via 10 tools. Equip your AI agent with read/write access to Semgrep's SAST platform to audit code security findings, update triage statuses, and enforce custom semantic rules. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (10)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Semgrep
Ask your AI agent "List the most severe unmitigated findings currently breaking our CI/CD pipeline on the 'vinkius/cloud' repository." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Semgrep data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Semgrep MCP Server capabilities
10 toolsAllows developers to forbid project-specific bad patterns securely and continuously across the enterprise repositories. Create a customized Semgrep security rule within the platform
Delete a custom Semgrep security rule from the deployment
Explains the exact malicious code block, suggests semantic fixes, states whether it is blocking PRs in CI, and links to CVE data (if an SCA supply chain defect). Get atomic details for a specific Semgrep flaw
Typically consumed to render executive security dashboards. Get AppSec metrics and compliance stats for Semgrep
Search for a precise Semgrep project by exact repository name
The primary key is the deployment slug identifier. Almost all subsequent API operations targeting rules, projects, or findings will require this deployment slug to define the scope. List Semgrep organizational deployments
Findings provide snippet details, file line numbers, severity, and rule types. Fetch global static analysis security findings for a deployment
Projects maintain a link between developers and static security scan outputs over time. List Semgrep projects (repositories) monitored in a deployment
The rules are structured YAML definitions that search for semantic anti-patterns in codebases (e.g., unparameterized SQL queries, hardcoded AWS keys). List Semgrep semantic rules deployed globally
Valid states generally include active, fixed, false_positive, ignored, mitigated. Resolving findings through this API cleans up the developer experience when managing compliance queues. Mark a Semgrep finding state (e.g., fixed, false positive)
What the Semgrep MCP Server unlocks
Connect the Semgrep AppSec platform directly to your AI agent to radically accelerate code security triaging. Instead of forcing developers to jump between their IDE and the Semgrep dashboard, empower your AI to pull 'Findings', analyze the vulnerable syntax, and instantly close false positives.
What you can do
- Triage Findings (Bugs) — Instruct the agent to grab the latest CI vulnerability findings and immediately push a status update to mark it as fixed, ignored, or mitigated (
update_finding_status) - Rule Management — Request the AI to look at a newly discovered bad coding pattern and command it to write and deploy a matching custom semantic rule (
create_rule) to your organizational deployment - Project & Deployment Scoping — Map out all repositories running Semgrep actions and check their overarching security health scores in milliseconds
- Comprehensive Forensics — Fetch granular SCA and SAST semantic flaw definitions, including exact snippets, CVE links, and the specific bad lines causing the trigger
How it works
1. Enable this MCP server within your workflow
2. Supply a standard API Token from your Semgrep Dashboard settings
3. Engage your agent in Cursor or Claude to cross-examine security warnings dynamically
Who is this for?
- Security Engineers (AppSec) — tell the AI to quickly delete an obsolete rule across the entire deployment without wrestling with the dashboard interface
- DevOps — retrieve compliance metrics and pipeline fix rates natively and pipe them directly into an executive summary report via chat
- Software Developers — let Cursor fetch the specific
finding_idblocking your PR, explain what the vulnerability means, and draft the exact semantic fix to pass the scan
Frequently asked questions about the Semgrep MCP Server
Can the AI resolve or close findings in Semgrep natively?
Yes. This server supports mutable actions. By invoking update_finding_status, your AI agent can shift a specific semantic flaw to 'mitigated', 'fixed', 'ignored', or 'false_positive' updating the registry in real-time.
How can I deploy a new custom SAST rule via chat?
Simply ask the LLM: 'Draft a semantic grep rule to ban hardcoded API keys in Python and deploy it'. The agent will natively format the JSON structure required and call create_rule, sending it directly to all repositories.
Do I need to supply a 'Deployment Slug' for every request?
Most API queries require the deployment context. To ensure smooth interactions, just tell the agent your organization slug once (or let it query list_deployments to fetch the default one). The agent will remember it for the rest of the conversation loop.
