The Challenge
Business Problem
Security vulnerabilities are often discovered weeks or months after introduction, making them expensive to fix. Manual security reviews can't keep pace with modern deployment frequency.
The Approach
Solution Overview
Connect GitHub MCP Server with Snyk, Semgrep, and Trivy MCP Servers to scan every PR for security issues, block merges on critical findings, and generate compliance reports.
Step-by-Step
Implementation Steps
1
Configure Code Scanning
Set up Semgrep MCP Server for SAST scanning of application code.
2
Add Dependency Scanning
Connect Snyk MCP Server to scan package dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
3
Container Image Scanning
Use Trivy MCP Server to scan Docker images before deployment.
4
Create PR Security Gate
Block PR merges when critical or high severity issues are found.
async function securityGate(pr) {
const [codeIssues, depIssues, imageIssues] = await Promise.all([
semgrep.scan({ path: pr.headRef }),
snyk.test({ project: pr.repo }),
trivy.scanImage({ image: `${pr.repo}:${pr.headSha}` })
]);
const critical = [...codeIssues, ...depIssues, ...imageIssues].filter(i => i.severity === 'critical');
if (critical.length > 0) {
await github.createCheckRun({ conclusion: 'failure', output: { title: `${critical.length} critical vulnerabilities` } });
}
}Code
Code Examples

Security Report Generator
async function generateReport() {
const findings = await Promise.all(repos.map(r => snyk.test({ project: r })));
const report = { total: findings.flat().length, critical: findings.flat().filter(f => f.severity === 'critical').length };
return report;
