Semgrep MCP Server for AutoGen 10 tools — connect in under 2 minutes
Microsoft AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and execute tasks collaboratively. Add Semgrep as an MCP tool provider through Vinkius and every agent in the group can access live data and take action.

About Semgrep MCP Server
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.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Semgrep tools. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
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
The Semgrep MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use AutoGen with the Semgrep MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with Semgrep through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Semgrep tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign Semgrep tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Semgrep tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Semgrep tool responses in an isolated environment
Semgrep + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the Semgrep MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries Semgrep while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from Semgrep, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using Semgrep data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process Semgrep responses in a sandboxed execution environment
Semgrep MCP Tools for AutoGen (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Semgrep to AutoGen via MCP:
create_rule
Allows developers to forbid project-specific bad patterns securely and continuously across the enterprise repositories. Create a customized Semgrep security rule within the platform
delete_rule
Delete a custom Semgrep security rule from the deployment
get_finding_details
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
get_metrics
Typically consumed to render executive security dashboards. Get AppSec metrics and compliance stats for Semgrep
get_project
Search for a precise Semgrep project by exact repository name
list_deployments
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
list_findings
Findings provide snippet details, file line numbers, severity, and rule types. Fetch global static analysis security findings for a deployment
list_projects
Projects maintain a link between developers and static security scan outputs over time. List Semgrep projects (repositories) monitored in a deployment
list_rules
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
update_finding_status
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)
Example Prompts for Semgrep in AutoGen
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your AutoGen agent to start working with Semgrep immediately.
"List the most severe unmitigated findings currently breaking our CI/CD pipeline on the 'vinkius/cloud' repository."
"Mark vulnerability issue ID #58032 as a 'false_positive' using the update finding tool."
"Review the company's Semgrep performance metrics focusing on fix rate."
