Trivy Plugin MCP Server

If you already use Trivy Plugin, the trivy plugin mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Trivy plugin for starting an MCP server.

What the server does

This plugin starts a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates Trivy's security scanning capabilities with VS Code and other MCP-enabled tools.

• Natural Language Scanning — Ask questions about security issues in natural language
• Multiple Scan Types —
• Filesystem scanning for local projects
• Container image vulnerability scanning
• Remote repository security analysis
• Integration with Aqua Platform — Optional integration with Aqua Security's platform for enhanced scanning capabilities and assurance policy compliance

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

• Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Trivy Plugin's toolset — Installation — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by aquasecurity; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Worth knowing first

• 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.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
