Connect VS Code

Add the Sentrasec MCP server to VS Code so the editor agent can scan and explain findings.

Add the server

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace and add the sentrasec server:

.vscode/mcp.json
{  "servers": {    "sentrasec": {      "command": "sentrasec",      "args": ["mcp", "serve"],      "env": {        "SENTRASEC_APP_ID": "app_...",        "SENTRASEC_APP_KEY": "sk_prod_..."      }    }  }}

Replace sk_prod_... with your API key. See Authentication for how to create one.

Use it

Reload the window so VS Code picks up the server. Then ask the agent something like:

Check this repository for security issues and explain anything critical.

See the tools reference for everything the agent can call.
