Overview of the MCP Server documentation
The Snyk API & Web MCP Server is a bridge between Snyk’s powerful security automation capabilities and AI-native development tools. It allows users to manage their API & Web targets using natural language via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
The release of the Snyk API & Web MCP Server introduces a specialized toolset for AI agents to perform high-level security management:
- Target Onboarding: Seamlessly add new scan targets (web applications and APIs) to your Snyk account without leaving your AI environment.
- Automated Auth Configuration: Use the AI to configure authentication parameters for scans, a traditionally complex task for dynamic testing.
- DAST Scan Execution: Trigger Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) scans on-demand to identify vulnerabilities in running applications.
- Intelligent Triage: Ask your assistant to summarize findings, prioritize them based on severity/reachability, and suggest immediate fixes.
