AI Scanner

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"
