What is the Inkog MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Inkog MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Security co-pilot for AI agents. Scan for vulnerabilities, audit MCP servers, verify governance.

The short version

Ask your AI pair-programmer to build an agent. Inkog checks it as you code — scanning for vulnerabilities, explaining findings in plain English, verifying AGENTS.md governance, and auditing agent-to-agent delegation. All inside the same conversation, no context switch.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 8 tools. What each one is for:

  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • inkog_scan — Static analysis for AI agent code - finds logic flaws and security risks
  • inkog_verify_governance — Validate that AGENTS.md declarations match actual code behavior. This is Inkog's unique differentiator - no other tool does governance
  • inkog_compliance_report — The inkog_compliance_report tool exposed by this server
  • inkog_explain_finding — Get detailed explanation and remediation guidance for a security finding
  • inkog_audit_mcp_server — The inkog_audit_mcp_server tool exposed by this server
  • inkog_generate_mlbom — Generate a Machine Learning Bill of Materials listing all AI components
  • inkog_audit_a2a — The inkog_audit_a2a tool exposed by this server

Getting it running

@inkog-io/mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: INKOG_API_KEY, INKOG_API_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Inkog's toolset — Cursor, inkog_scan, inkog_verify_governance and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by inkog-io; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Inkog to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 8 tools (Cursor, inkog_scan, inkog_verify_governance, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Inkog directly.
