mcp -github-snyk

The mcp-github-snyk server is a modified Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates seamlessly with GitHub and Snyk, allowing you to enhance your development workflows. By utilizing this server, you can automatically perform security checks on your GitHub projects, ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified and addressed before deployment. This integration empowers developers to maintain secure codebases while streamlining their CI/CD pipelines.

Once you are connected to the mcp-github-snyk server, you can issue commands to analyze your GitHub repositories for security vulnerabilities using Snyk's capabilities. You can submit queries to check for outdated dependencies, insecure packages, and license compliance directly from your development environment. Utilize commands such as check, test, and monitor to get real-time feedback on your project's security status.

To install the mcp-github-snyk server, ensure you have Node.js (version 14 or later) installed on your machine.

Option A: Quick start with npx (recommended)
You can quickly get started by running the following command:

npx -y github-snyk

Option B: Global install alternative
Alternatively, you can install the server globally using npm:

npm install -g github-snyk

After installation, you can start the server by running the command github-snyk in your terminal.

When configuring the mcp-github-snyk server, ensure that you set the necessary environment variables for your GitHub personal access token and Snyk API token to enable the integration. Common gotchas include forgetting to update the tokens after they expire, so be sure to monitor their validity. Additionally, consult the server's GitHub repository for any updates or configuration changes that may be required.
