What is the GitGuardian MCP Server?
Connect your GitGuardian workspace to any AI agent to strengthen your security posture and manage secret leaks through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Incident Management — List, retrieve, and resolve secret incidents. Assign team members to leaks and track remediation progress.
- Honeytokens — Create and manage decoy credentials (honeytokens) to detect unauthorized access to your private infrastructure.
- Security Scanning — Scan code snippets or content for secrets and sensitive data in real-time to prevent leaks before they happen.
- Audit & Compliance — Access detailed audit logs to monitor workspace activity and ensure compliance with security policies.
- Team Collaboration — Manage teams, members, and API tokens to orchestrate security operations across your organization.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your GitGuardian API Key
- Start monitoring and securing your code from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI acts as a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) assistant, helping you triage alerts and deploy defenses without leaving your workflow.
Who is this for?
- Security Engineers — quickly triage secret incidents and manage honeytoken deployments across multiple environments.
- DevOps & SREs — automate security audits and monitor workspace health checks directly from the terminal or IDE.
- Developers — scan code for secrets before committing and check incident statuses without switching to the GitGuardian dashboard.

Frequently asked questions
Can I resolve a secret incident directly through the AI?
Yes. You can use the resolve_secret_incident tool by providing the incident ID. You can also use assign_secret_incident to delegate the fix to a specific team member.
How do I create a decoy credential to catch attackers?
Use the create_honeytoken tool. You can specify the type and name of the honeytoken, and GitGuardian will generate a decoy that alerts you if it's ever used.
Is it possible to scan a text block for secrets before I commit it?
Absolutely. Use the scan_content tool. Provide the document content and a filename, and the AI will return any detected secrets or policy violations found by GitGuardian's engine.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
