Connect Claude Desktop

Add the SentraSec MCP server so Claude can run scans and reason over your findings.

1

Edit the desktop config

Open the Claude Desktop config file:

  • macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows — %APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the sentrasec server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sentrasec": {
      "command": "sentrasec",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve"],
      "env": {
        "SENTRASEC_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace the key — see Authentication.sentrasec must be on your PATH.

2

Restart Claude

Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The SentraSec tools appear in the tools menu. Ask:

“Scan https://staging.example.com for security issues and explain the top finding.”

See the tools reference.
