Common questions

Is Megalinter 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 (4.0.0) reached the registry 4 days 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.

MegaLinter MCP Server

Note: This is a community-maintained MCP server. It is not an official Model Context Protocol server, but it is sanctioned by Ox Security as a complement to their official MegaLinter tools.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for running Ox Security MegaLinter through mega-linter-runner. Works with any CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, Jenkins) or locally.

Overview

This server provides 15 MCP tools in total: 10 core tools and 5 convenience aliases across execution, discovery, and analysis workflows.

megalinter_quick_action for short, natural requests with sensible defaults.
megalinter_run to execute MegaLinter with configurable runtime and runner options.
megalinter_write_config to generate a minimal .mega-linter.yml file.
megalinter_list_flavors to return common MegaLinter flavors.
megalinter_get_linters to discover available linters by language, security focus, and auto-fix capability.
megalinter_get_security_info to group security linters by threat category.
megalinter_get_reporters to list supported report output formats and CI-targeted reporters.
megalinter_parse_reports to parse JSON or SARIF report artefacts.
megalinter_get_issue_summary to aggregate report issues by linter and severity.
megalinter_get_security_recommendations to generate security-focused remediation guidance.

Quick Start (Short Prompts)

If you prefer short prompts, use megalinter_quick_action first:

@megalinter quick scan this repository
@megalinter security scan
@megalinter summarise errors
@megalinter list python security linters
@megalinter write config

Or use ultra-short aliases for minimal typing:

@megalinter scan — Quick scan with defaults
@megalinter summary — Summarise last run's errors
@megalinter parse — Parse JSON report
@megalinter help_quick — Context-aware help for your project

Platform Compatibility

This MCP server is platform-agnostic and works universally:

✅ Locally — Run MegaLinter from your IDE or command line
✅ GitHub Actions — Integrate with workflows
✅ GitLab CI/CD — Use in GitLab pipelines
✅ Azure DevOps — Run in Azure Pipelines
✅ CircleCI, Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines — Any CI/CD platform with Docker support
✅ AI Agents & Copilot — Automated code quality checks via MCP

The only requirement is Docker (or a compatible container runtime like Colima).
