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.
LangChain's ecosystem of 500+ components combines seamlessly with Semgrep through native MCP adapters. Connect 10 tools via the Vinkius and use ReAct agents, Plan-and-Execute strategies, or custom agent architectures — with LangSmith tracing giving full visibility into every tool call, latency, and token cost.
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 LangChain 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 LangChain with the Semgrep MCP Server
LangChain provides unique advantages when paired with Semgrep through the Model Context Protocol.
The largest ecosystem of integrations, chains, and agents — combine Semgrep MCP tools with 500+ LangChain components
Agent architecture supports ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, and custom strategies with full MCP tool access at every step
LangSmith tracing gives you complete visibility into tool calls, latencies, and token usage for production debugging
Memory and conversation persistence let agents maintain context across Semgrep queries for multi-turn workflows
Semgrep + LangChain Use Cases
Practical scenarios where LangChain combined with the Semgrep MCP Server delivers measurable value.
RAG with live data: combine Semgrep tool results with vector store retrievals for answers grounded in both real-time and historical data
Autonomous research agents: LangChain agents query Semgrep, synthesize findings, and generate comprehensive research reports
Multi-tool orchestration: chain Semgrep tools with web scrapers, databases, and calculators in a single agent run
Production monitoring: use LangSmith to trace every Semgrep tool call, measure latency, and optimize your agent's performance
Semgrep MCP Tools for LangChain (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Semgrep to LangChain 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 LangChain
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your LangChain 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."
