What is the 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.

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

How it works

Subscribe to this AI integration server
Introduce your personal Snyk API Token
Start using Claude, Cursor, or your terminal IDE to command your security checks

Stop digging through the Snyk UI just to see why a container build failed. Find the precise faulty dependency versions instantly within your codebase context.

Who is this for?

DevSecOps — query exact details on critical CVEs before approving PR merges, generating threat analysis models quickly
App Developers — discover which underlying package versions triggered build issues seamlessly without running local dependency scanners
SysAdmins — pull quick organizational billing usage limits dynamically and audit user integrations from pure text instructions

Why VS Code Copilot?

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.

—
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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
