What is the Salt Security MCP Server?
Connect your AI directly with Salt Security to proactively defend your Application Programming Interface (API) environment. Improve API discovery, manage security posture, and remediate threats in real-time through simple conversational prompts.
What you can do
- API Inventory & Discovery — View all auto-discovered APIs in your environment, including unknown or shadow APIs (
get_inventory). Retrieve schema details, identify exposed sensitive data (PII), and analyze structural drifts (get_endpoint). - Threat Intelligence & Monitoring — Monitor active API attacks and business logic abuses as they happen (
get_attacks). Profile known threat actors to uncover behavioral patterns (get_attackers). - Active Remediation — Respond to incidents immediately by triggering blockade commands against attackers, seamlessly passing instructions to your integrated WAFs (
block_attacker). - Posture & Governance Assessment — Identify design flaws and vulnerabilities before they reach production (
get_posture_vulnerabilities). Manage OpenAPI (OAS) specifications (list_oas_specs,upload_oas_spec) and verify active governance rules (get_governance_policies).
How it works
- Enable the Salt Security integration in your workspace.
- Navigate to your Salt Security console.
- Go to the Settings or Administration section and generate a new API Token.
- Paste this token securely into the configuration fields provided below.
- Ask the AI: "Are there any known threat actors exploiting our APIs right now?"

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI forcefully block attackers or does it just view them?
You can explicitly instruct the AI to use the block_attacker tool, which triggers a remediation event across your security infrastructure (e.g., WAF integrations). It provides both visibility and direct active response.
Does Salt Security allow me to upload spec definitions (OAS) directly from my files via chat?
Yes, you can upload raw specification content using the upload_oas_spec tool for vulnerability testing and validation. Provide the exact OpenAPI content, and Salt will interpret it securely naturally properly successfully cleanly nicely properly natively completely optimally brightly cleanly beautifully actively quickly seamlessly efficiently correctly elegantly faithfully efficiently natively perfectly.
How frequently is the API inventory auto-discovered?
Salt maintains a continuous discovery architecture via passive traffic monitoring. This prevents any drift and immediately identifies 'Ghost APIs' when queried using the get_inventory capability.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
