Frequently asked questions

What is the Snyk MCP server?

How do I install Snyk MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install snyk` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y snyk-mcp` and restarting Claude Code.

Is Snyk MCP free?

Yes. The Snyk MCP server is free and open source. You may still need a Snyk account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does Snyk MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
