About

There is no official, Snyk-published Model Context Protocol server as of this writing — a commonly referenced `snyk/mcp-server` repo does not exist. The most active real alternative is sammcj/mcp-snyk, a community-built, MIT-licensed MCP server that wraps Snyk's API and CLI for agentic security scanning (marked alpha by its author, so expect rough edges). It exposes tools to scan a GitHub or GitLab repository by URL for vulnerabilities, scan an existing Snyk project by ID, and verify that a configured API token is valid, returning the associated user and organization info. Authentication uses a Snyk API token and an org ID, supplied via `SNYK_API_KEY`/`SNYK_ORG_ID` environment variables, falling back to the locally configured Snyk CLI org if one isn't set explicitly. Install with `npx -y github:sammcj/mcp-snyk` in your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.). Typical use: ask Claude to "scan https://github.com/org/repo for security vulnerabilities using Snyk" and get back a structured findings summary instead of switching to the Snyk web console. Snyk's own engineering org separately maintains snyk/agentic-integration-wrappers, a set of wrappers for plugging Snyk scanning into agentic workflows more broadly — worth checking if this community MCP server doesn't cover your use case, since it isn't an official Snyk product and has no guaranteed support or roadmap.

GitHub MCP Server

The GitHub MCP server is GitHub's official Model Context Protocol integration, giving AI assistants like Claude and Cursor direct, authenticated access to the GitHub platform and its full developer surface. With this MCP server, you can ask your AI to read and write repository files, create and merge branches, open and review pull requests, comment on and close issues, trigger GitHub Actions workflows, search across code repositories with GitHub's code search, and inspect commit history — all through natural-language prompts in your AI interface. Developers use it to supercharge code review workflows, automate issue triage, generate PR descriptions from diffs, bulk-update repository settings, and wire AI agents into CI/CD pipelines. The GitHub MCP server connects via a GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable with scopes for the operations you need, keeping authentication clean and auditable. Install with Docker: `docker run -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<token> ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server` — or configure it as a remote MCP server in Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Cline. With over 8,000 GitHub stars, it is the most widely deployed official code-platform MCP server and the reference implementation for AI-native GitHub automation.
