Aikido MCP Server

A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Aikido’s Code and Secrets Scan as a tool for AI coding agents and IDEs. It lets your agent scan code and returns machine-readable findings you can triage or fix.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or newer
• An Aikido API key (get yours from Aikido Security)

Configuration

API Key Setup

The MCP server requires an Aikido API key to authenticate with the Aikido API. You can provide it in two ways:

1. Via MCP Configuration (Recommended): Set the AIKIDO_API_KEY environment variable in your MCP configuration file
2. Via System Environment Variable: Set AIKIDO_API_KEY as a system environment variable

Add to your IDE or agent

Below are example configurations to add to your the Aikido MCP to your IDE.
