Trivy

# Quick Start Guide This guide will help you get up and running with the Trivy MCP Server Plugin quickly. ## Installation If you haven't installed the plugin yet: ```sh trivy plugin install mcp ``` See the [Installation Guide](./installation.md) for more details. ## Starting the MCP Server To start the Trivy MCP server: ```sh trivy mcp ``` By default, this will start the server using stdio transport, which is suitable for most IDE integrations. ## Basic Configuration Options You can customize the server behavior with these options: | Option | Values | Default | Description | | ---------------------------- | -------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------- | | `--transport` / `-t` | `sse`, `stdio` | `stdio` | Transport protocol for the MCP Server | | `--port` / `-p` | | 23456 | Port for SSE transport mode | | `--trivy-binary` | | | Custom Trivy binary path (optional) | | `--use-aqua-platform` / `-a` | `true/false` | `false` | Enable Aqua Platform integration | | `--debug` | `true/false` | `false` | Enable debug logging | Example with SSE transport: ```sh trivy mcp --transport sse --port 8080 ``` ## IDE Configuration The Trivy MCP Server Plugin works with various IDEs, including VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains IDEs, and Claude Desktop. For detailed configuration instructions for each IDE, see: - [VS Code Integration](./ide/vscode.md) - [Cursor Integration](./ide/cursor.md) - [JetBrains IDE Integration](./ide/jetbrains.md) - [Claude Desktop Integration](./ide/claude.md) ## Basic Usage Once configured, you can use natural language to ask security-related questions in your IDE's chat interface. Make sure to use the chat window in "Agent" mode, not "Ask" mode. Example queries: ``` Are there any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in this project? ``` ``` Find all HIGH severity vulnerabilities in this codebase ``` For more example queries, see the [Example Queries](./example-queries.md) page. ## Next Steps - Explore [Authentication](./authentication.md) to integrate with Aqua Platform - Try out different [Example Queries](./example-queries.md) to learn more about what you can do
