Offline, rule-based security checks for your repo, dependencies, AI agent config and local app.
Description from the maker (original English)
Scan, monitor and fix a live web app from your editor: graded security reports with fix prompts.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Which app do you use?
Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.
This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.
Run this in your terminal

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
scan_urlStart a SecScan security scan of a web application the user owns or is authorised to test. Returns a scan_id; most scans finish in under a minute — then call get_scan_status with wait_seconds, or get_report. Active tests (injection, XSS, SSRF…) run only on domains the user has ve
get_scan_statusStatus of a scan (queued, scanning, analyzing, complete, failed). With wait_seconds (max 60) it waits for the scan to finish and returns the full report as soon as it does.
get_reportThe finished report for a scan: grade, what the scan tested and what it skipped (a clean grade says nothing about skipped areas, so say so), prioritised findings with fixes and evidence, and a fix prompt written for the user's AI editor. Findings come 25 per page, most severe fir
list_recent_scansThe user's most recent scans with their status, newest first.
list_verified_domainsDomains the user has proved they own. Only these receive active testing (injection, XSS, SSRF, access control); others get passive checks. Verify more at https://secscan.us/domains.
get_accountHow many scans the user can still run — free scans, plan scans and credits — and their plan. Check this before starting several scans.
start_domain_verificationBegin proving the user owns a domain, which unlocks active tests (injection, XSS, SSRF, access control) on its scans. Returns a file to publish on the site, or a DNS TXT record — an editor can usually add the file to the codebase and deploy it. Then call check_domain_verification
check_domain_verificationCheck whether the file or DNS record from start_domain_verification is live. On success the domain is verified and its next scan includes active tests. DNS changes can take a few minutes.
list_monitorsSites under continuous monitoring: latest grade, last and next scan, uptime check, CVE alerts, new problems in the last scan and certificate expiry. Use the monitor id with monitor_scan_now.
add_monitorPut a site the user owns under continuous monitoring: hourly uptime checks, CVE matching, certificate alerts and regular rescans. Runs a full baseline scan straight away, which uses one of the user's scans exactly as in the app (free for plan holders). Returns the baseline scan_i
monitor_scan_nowRun a full scan of a monitored site now instead of waiting for its schedule — e.g. to confirm a fix. Free for plan holders; otherwise uses one of the user's scans, as in the app. Takes the monitor id from list_monitors.
dismiss_findingMark a finding as a false positive for this site, so future scans of it stop reporting it — the same as Dismiss in the app, and undoable there. ONLY use this after the user has confirmed the finding is wrong; never dismiss a real problem to improve a grade.

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
