Bring Fraud Prevention
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect SEON to VS Code Copilot and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the SEON MCP Server?
Connect your SEON account to any AI agent and take full control of your fraud prevention and risk management orchestration through natural conversation. SEON provides a modular and powerful platform for transaction scoring, digital footprinting, and AML compliance, and this integration allows you to retrieve risk metadata, perform real-time checks, and manage blacklists directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Fraud & Risk Orchestration — Perform real-time fraud checks on transactions and registrations programmatically to protect your business revenue.
- Digital Footprint Intelligence — Retrieve social media and domain metadata for emails, phone numbers, and IP addresses directly from the AI interface.
- AML & Compliance Control — Screen users against global sanctions, PEP, and criminal watchlists to ensure regulatory compliance via natural language.
- Machine Learning & Feedback — Send feedback labels and manage custom blacklists/whitelists to train your fraud models and ensure they are always synchronized.
- Operational Monitoring — Track fraud rules, monitor account statistics, and retrieve transaction metadata using simple AI commands.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your SEON Admin API Key from your dashboard settings
3. Start managing your risk operations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual background checks or complex fraud rule management. Your AI acts as a dedicated risk analyst or compliance officer.
Who is this for?
- Risk Managers — quickly retrieve digital footprints and monitor transaction scores without switching apps.
- Compliance Officers — automate AML screening and track social media profile data via natural conversation.
- Operations Teams — streamline the management of custom lists and monitor organizational fraud health directly within the chat.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings SEON data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically check the fraud risk for a specific transaction by providing its ID?
Yes! Use the get_transaction tool with the Transaction ID. Your agent will respond with the complete risk score, rule triggers, and digital footprint data in seconds.
How do I check the digital footprint for a new user's email address?
Simply ask the agent to run the check_email action. It will retrieve social media profile associations, domain age, and potential risk flags associated with that email.
How do I find my SEON Admin API Key?
Log in to your SEON dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and you will find your unique Admin License Key there.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
