Scan GitHub repositories for security, deployment, and code quality issues.

@finishkit/mcp

MCP server for FinishKit. Enables AI agents in Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot to scan GitHub repositories for security vulnerabilities, deployment blockers, and code quality issues.

What AI Agents Can Do

Tool Description Primary Use Case
scan_repo Trigger a full scan and wait for completion Check if a repo is production-ready
get_scan_status Check progress of an in-flight scan Poll a previously triggered scan
get_findings Retrieve detailed findings filtered by category or severity Review security issues, blockers, etc.
get_patches Retrieve auto-generated code patches with unified diffs Apply FinishKit's suggested fixes
list_projects List all connected repositories and last scan dates Discover which repos are configured
create_project Get guided instructions to link a new GitHub repo Onboard a new repository

Quick Start

Get an API key at finishkit.app/dashboard/settings?tab=developer, then configure your MCP client.

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finishkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@finishkit/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FINISHKIT_API_KEY": "fk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally):

{
  "finishkit": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@finishkit/mcp"],
    "env": {
      "FINISHKIT_API_KEY": "fk_live_..."
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "finishkit": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@finishkit/mcp"],
    "env": {
      "FINISHKIT_API_KEY": "fk_live_..."
    }
  }
}

VS Code Copilot Chat

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or user settings):

{
  "servers": {
    "finishkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@finishkit/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FINISHKIT_API_KEY": "${env:FINISHKIT_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

After configuring, restart your AI client and try: "Scan myorg/my-app for security issues"

Tools Reference

`scan_repo` (Primary Tool)

Scan a GitHub repository with FinishKit to detect security vulnerabilities, deployment blockers, stability issues, test coverage gaps, and UI problems. This is the primary tool - it handles the full scan lifecycle: finds the project, triggers a new scan run, polls until completion (typically 2-8 minutes), and returns a comprehensive summary of all findings.

Parameter Type Required Description
repo_owner string Yes GitHub org or username (e.g., myorg)
repo_name string Yes Repository name without owner (e.g., my-app)
run_type enum No baseline (default), pr, or manual_patch
commit_sha string No Specific commit to scan; defaults to latest

Returns: Finding counts by severity and category, human-readable summary, dashboard URL.


`get_scan_status`

Check the current status of an in-progress FinishKit scan. Returns the scan phase, progress percentage, and estimated time remaining. Use this to check a scan triggered in a previous session.

Parameter Type Required Description
run_id string Yes Run ID from scan_repo or the dashboard

`get_findings`

Retrieve detailed findings from a completed scan. Each finding includes file path, line numbers, severity, category, detailed explanation, and suggested fix.

Parameter Type Required Description
run_id string Yes Run ID of a completed scan
category enum No blockers, security, deploy, stability, tests, ui
severity enum No Minimum severity: critical, high, medium, low
limit number No Max findings to return (1-100, default 50)

`get_patches`

Retrieve automatically generated code patches from a completed scan. Each patch includes the unified diff, application status, and verification status.

Parameter Type Required Description
run_id string Yes Run ID of a completed scan

`list_projects`

List all FinishKit projects connected to your account, with their last scan date and repository details. No inputs required.


`create_project`

Get guided instructions for creating a new FinishKit project by linking a GitHub repository. Directs to the dashboard for GitHub App installation.
