About Veracode MCP Server
Equip your AI agent with complete read and write access to your Veracode ecosystem. Seamlessly blend application security posture management alongside your typical development workflow using entirely conversational AI.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Veracode data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Unified Vulnerability Tracing — Ask the agent to list Open security findings or mitigation statuses spanning across Static (SAST), Dynamic (DAST), and Component (SCA) analytics per application.
- Deep Flaw Details — Input specific Finding IDs and let the bot explain the underlying CWE error, affected code strings, severity ratings, and automated remediation tutorials.
- Portfolio AppSec Management — List tracked applications, create novel application profiles on the fly before a commit, or request health checks mapping sandbox testing environments.
- Dynamic Scan Queries — Poll your AI intuitively ensuring it retrieves the real-time execution bounds of your scheduled Web Application Security runtime scenarios.
The Veracode MCP Server exposes 10 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.
