What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Enable this MCP server within your workflow
- Supply a standard API Token from your Semgrep Dashboard settings
- Engage your agent in Cursor or Claude to cross-examine security warnings dynamically
Who is this for?
- Security Engineers (AppSec) — tell the AI to quickly delete an obsolete rule across the entire deployment without wrestling with the dashboard interface
- DevOps — retrieve compliance metrics and pipeline fix rates natively and pipe them directly into an executive summary report via chat
- Software Developers — let Cursor fetch the specific
finding_idblocking your PR, explain what the vulnerability means, and draft the exact semantic fix to pass the scan
Built-in capabilities (10)
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 a custom Semgrep security rule from the deployment
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
Typically consumed to render executive security dashboards. Get AppSec metrics and compliance stats for Semgrep
Search for a precise Semgrep project by exact repository name
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
Findings provide snippet details, file line numbers, severity, and rule types. Fetch global static analysis security findings for a deployment
Projects maintain a link between developers and static security scan outputs over time. List Semgrep projects (repositories) monitored in a deployment
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
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)
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Semgrep into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Semgrep and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI resolve or close findings in Semgrep natively?
Yes. This server supports mutable actions. By invoking update_finding_status, your AI agent can shift a specific semantic flaw to 'mitigated', 'fixed', 'ignored', or 'false_positive' updating the registry in real-time.
How can I deploy a new custom SAST rule via chat?
Simply ask the LLM: 'Draft a semantic grep rule to ban hardcoded API keys in Python and deploy it'. The agent will natively format the JSON structure required and call create_rule, sending it directly to all repositories.
Do I need to supply a 'Deployment Slug' for every request?
Most API queries require the deployment context. To ensure smooth interactions, just tell the agent your organization slug once (or let it query list_deployments to fetch the default one). The agent will remember it for the rest of the conversation loop.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
