Snyk MCP Server

Securitystdiov1.1290.0
Repository

Official Snyk MCP server that brings developer security scanning into AI agent workflows. Lets agents scan code, open-source dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code for vulnerabilities, retrieve fix advice, and check license issues directly from the editor or CI, using the Snyk CLI under the hood.
