Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-scanner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ai-scanner-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ai-scanner -- npx -y ai-scanner-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-scanner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ai-scanner-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "ai-scanner": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ai-scanner-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is AI Scanner safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.6) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

ai-scanner-mcp

MCP server for ai-scanner - let AI agents scan codebases for LLM usage, AI frameworks, and exposed secrets.

An MCP server that exposes ai-scanner as tools for AI agents. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

Tools

Tool	Description
`scan_directory`	Full scan — LLM SDKs, AI frameworks, exposed tokens, and hardcoded secrets with severity levels
`check_secrets`	Security check — pass/fail scan for exposed credentials only. Perfect for pre-commit checks
`ai_inventory`	AI stack overview — which SDKs, frameworks, models, and API endpoints are used (no secret detection)

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add ai-scanner npx ai-scanner-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "ai-scanner": { "command": "npx", "args": ["ai-scanner-mcp"] } } }

Config file location:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

"mcpServers": { "ai-scanner": { "command": "npx", "args": ["ai-scanner-mcp"] } } }

Windsurf

Add to ~/.windsurf/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "ai-scanner": { "command": "npx", "args": ["ai-scanner-mcp"] } } }

Example Usage

Once connected, you can ask your AI agent:

*"Scan this project for any exposed API keys"*
*"Check if there are any hardcoded secrets before I commit"*
*"What AI SDKs and frameworks does this codebase use?"*
*"Run a security scan on ./src and tell me if it's safe to push"*
*"Give me an AI inventory of this project"*
