When were Snyk MCP Server's facts last verified?

2026-08-07. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.

Snyk's MCP server is not a standalone package: it ships inside the Snyk CLI and is invoked with the snyk mcp command. The README's framing is that it "bridges the gap between security scanning and AI-assisted workflows", letting an agentic tool trigger Snyk scans and read the findings in place. The exposed tools cover open-source (snyk_sca_scan), code (snyk_code_scan), IaC (snyk_iac_scan), container (snyk_container_scan), and SBOM (snyk_sbom_scan) scanning, plus an experimental secret-detection tool.

The registry record is arranged accordingly: its package is the snyk npm CLI, and the version string (1.1304.2) follows the CLI's own numbering rather than a separate MCP-server version. The development repository is snyk/studio-mcp, a Go module in the GitHub-verified snyk organization, which grounds the first-party authority.

No surface names a supported MCP specification revision; spec_status is unknown.

How widely adopted is Snyk MCP Server?

Ranked #20 in The MCP 500 with Adoption Index 80.59 (snapshot , methodology v1).
