Connect Snyk to Claude Code

Let Claude triage findings and manage ignores in Snyk. From the terminal, inside the sessions where you already work.

How do you connect Snyk to Claude Code?

Claude Code reaches outside tools through MCP servers. To connect Snyk, you add a Snyk MCP server: a small hosted service that exposes Snyk's data and actions over the Model Context Protocol. With a custom connector we build for you, that is one command in the terminal, then an OAuth sign-in with your own Snyk account. No API keys pasted into config files.

claude mcp add --transport http snyk https://your-connector-url/mcp

Then run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to sign in. Add it with --scope project and the connector is checked into the repo for your whole team.

What can Claude Code do in Snyk once connected?

Full read-write Snyk access lets Claude triage issues across projects, set or remove ignores with a reason, import new repositories into an organization, and configure a project's automated test frequency. The security review work that used to mean clicking through the dashboard happens where your findings already live.

Triage open issues by severity and assign or prioritize them across projects
Set or remove an ignore on a finding, with a reason and expiry you specify
Surface available fixes and remediation advice for a vulnerable dependency
Configure a project's automated test frequency through project settings
Import a new repository or project into a Snyk organization
Pull a vulnerability summary for a project and propose a remediation order

One connector, every Claude surface

The connector we build is a remote MCP server, which is the same standard claude.ai and Claude Desktop use. Add it once and the same Snyk access works in Claude Code for you, in claude.ai for the rest of the team, and in Claude Desktop. One build, one set of permissions, one monthly plan covering all of them.

Build it yourself, or have it built?

If you live in the terminal, you can absolutely write your own MCP server against the Snyk API. The protocol is open. What you take on is everything around the happy path: OAuth token refresh, hosting, monitoring, keeping up when Snyk changes its API and when the MCP spec itself moves, and scoping write actions so an agent can never do more than you intended. We build Snyk connectors with separated read and write tools and approval gates on destructive actions, then host and maintain them so they keep working while you work.

Frequently asked questions

Does the same Snyk connector work in claude.ai and Claude Code?

Yes. It is one remote MCP server. Claude Code adds it with a single "claude mcp add" command; claude.ai and Claude Desktop add it as a custom connector in Settings. Each person signs in with their own Snyk account, so access always matches what that person can already see and do.

Do I need to host or maintain anything myself?

No. The connector runs as a hosted service we operate: we handle uptime, token health, API changes on Snyk's side, and MCP spec migrations under the monthly plan. Your side is one command in the terminal and an OAuth sign-in.

Is it safe to give a coding agent write access to Snyk?

Write access is scoped, not blanket. Read tools and write tools are separated, destructive actions like deleting or sending are gated behind your explicit approval, and the connector can never exceed the permissions of the Snyk account it signs in with. Revoking access is one click in Snyk.
