GitGuardian, the leader in automated secrets detection and remediation, today announced the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a powerful new infrastructure designed to bring AI-assisted secrets security directly into developer environments. By embedding secrets detection and response within the development pipeline, GitGuardian’s MCP Server offers a transformative approach to reducing security risk without slowing development velocity. As intelligent agents begin to reshape the software development landscape, GitGuardian’s MCP server marks a pivotal shift in aligning security practices with an environment where code is shipped faster than ever. GitGuardian is an end-to-end NHI and secrets security platform that empowers software-driven organizations to enhance their Non-Human Identity (NHI) security and comply with industry standards. The GitGuardian MCP Server acts as a command center that allows AI agents to read from and orchestrate tasks across the organization’s broader security ecosystem. “By launching our MCP server, we’re enabling agents to take proactive, context-aware security actions directly in the development environment. With attackers increasingly targeting NHIs, such as service accounts and applications, GitGuardian integrates Secrets Security and NHI Governance. The MCP server enables users to detect, respond to, and remediate security incidents as code is being written. Built with “read-only” permissions by design, GitGuardian’s MCP Server minimizes security risk while maximizing utility. The rapid rise of intelligent development tools like Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude has further fueled the explosion of non-human identities (NHIs) and hardcoded credentials scattered across codebases, wikis, CI pipelines, and collaboration platforms. The platform is the world’s most installed GitHub application and supports over 450+ types of secrets, offers public monitoring for leaked data, and deploys honeytokens for added defense.
