Scout Security

Overview

Scout Security is a Model Context Protocol server that acts as a deterministic, zero-token security scanner for your AI agent. It finds and re-verifies security issues without consuming tokens, giving your AI assistant a reliable tool to call when scanning code and configurations.

The server runs locally on your machine via the Python package scout-security, installed with uvx scout-security. It communicates with MCP clients over stdio and requires no authentication to get started. The latest release is v0.1.7, available from the Varpost/Scout repository on GitHub.

Scout Security belongs in the AI & Agents category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server for Varpost, you can claim this listing to verify ownership, earn a Verified badge, and ensure the information stays up to date.
