Can the AI give me the code fix for a Snyk security vulnerability?

Yes! The bot uses `get_issue_details` to read Snyk's extensive remediation context natively. Because it operates inside your IDE (like Cursor), it seamlessly merges Snyk's advisory with your actual local file context to write a highly secure patch immediately.

How do I find my organization ID if I only know my project name?

You don't need to manually hunt for it. Simply tell your AI agent: 'Find my React Frontend project and list its issues'. The AI will autonomously query `list_organizations`, isolate the correct ID, run `list_projects` under it, find the matching name, and then execute the issue retrieval.

Is it safe to expose my project vulnerabilities to an AI?

Yes. Vinkius operates transparently—your Snyk API Token is securely isolated and requests route directly from your local MCP client to Snyk endpoint APIs. No underlying CVE issue is retained or spied upon on cloud databases you don't control.

About Snyk MCP Server

Connect your Snyk security dashboard natively to your preferred AI agent. Speed up your DevSecOps workflow by diagnosing and investigating package vulnerabilities via natural language. Rather than jumping between browser tabs trying to locate a specific CVE report, query your organizational vulnerability footprint dynamically through MCP.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Snyk data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 9 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Project Surveillance — Discover application projects via list_projects and fetch internal configurations calling get_project_details
Vulnerability Hunting — Expose specific codebase flaws instantly with list_issues, extracting actionable remediation steps querying get_issue_details
Company Operations — Traverse hierarchical structures via list_organizations and see who contributes using list_organization_members
Admin Controls — Monitor API connectivity invoking list_integrations and check scan caps via get_usage_stats and get_billing_info

The Snyk MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Snyk + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Snyk MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
