Scan your AI-generated code from Cursor using Model Context Protocol (MCP)

We’re happy to announce that Cursor has validated Snyk’s CLI MCP server and added Snyk to their curated set of MCP tools from official providers. 

At Snyk, we recognized early on that although AI assistants accelerate development, they can inadvertently introduce vulnerable patterns, leverage outdated libraries, or even code with known security flaws. In order to maintain the rapid iteration cycles that AI enables, developers need security to be as agile as AI itself
