MCP server for running Ox Security MegaLinter via mega-linter-runner
MCP server for running Ox Security MegaLinter via mega-linter-runner. That is what the megalinter mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for running Ox Security MegaLinter through mega-linter-runner. Works with any CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, Jenkins) or locally.
This server provides 15 MCP tools in total: 10 core tools and 5 convenience aliases across execution, discovery, and analysis workflows.
The server publishes 11 tools. What each one is for:
megalinter_quick_action — Interactive shortcut that accepts a short request and routes it to the right workflowmegalinter_help_quick — Get context-aware help based on your current repository. Detects languages, frameworks, Docker, Terraform, and security files to suggest relevantmegalinter_run — Use this tool when you need full argument-level control. For short prompts, prefer megalinter_quick_actionmegalinter_write_config — The megalinter_write_config tool exposed by this servermegalinter_list_flavors — Returns the built-in list of common flavors (all, javascript, python, terraform, and others)megalinter_get_linters — Returns linter metadata from the built-in catalogue and supports targeted filteringmegalinter_get_security_info — Returns security linters grouped into categories such as SAST, secrets, supply chain, container, and infrastructuremegalinter_get_reporters — Returns available MegaLinter reporters, including CI-targeted formatsmegalinter_parse_reports — The megalinter_parse_reports tool exposed by this servermegalinter_get_issue_summary — Summarises issues from megalinter-report.json and can apply severity/linter filtersmegalinter_get_security_recommendations — Generates security recommendations based on active linters in the parsed report dataInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npm on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Plenty of cloud and infrastructure 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. Megalinter's toolset — megalinter_quick_action, megalinter_help_quick, megalinter_run and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by DownAtTheBottomOfTheMoleHole; 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.
