Detectify debuts MCP server to let AI agents find and fix vulnerabilities in real time

Application security platform company Detectify AB today launched the Detectify MCP Server, a new integration layer that plugs the company’s security testing engines into artificial intelligence-driven coding workflows so that agents can find, validate and remediate exploitable vulnerabilities in real time.

Detectify’s MCP Server is built on the Model Context Protocol, the open standard Anthropic PBC released in November 2024 that has since been adopted across the AI industry as the default way for agents to talk to outside tools. The company is pitching the launch at a problem security teams have flagged for months, namely that AI coding agents now ship code faster than human-led review cycles can keep up with.

By exposing its scanning engines through MCP, Detectify is offering agents a standardized way to query findings and trigger validation as part of autonomous development loops rather than waiting for periodic human review. The company argues that AI-assisted coding is simultaneously eliminating some common errors while dramatically expanding the volume of software, application programming interfaces and infrastructure that organizations must track. The problem is compounded by shadow information technology and shadow AI adoption inside enterprises.
