GitGuardian MCP Server

Find leaked secrets, triage GitGuardian incidents and create honeytokens.

Officialby GitGuardianHosted or on your computerChecked October 18, 2026

GitGuardian's MCP server lets Claude scan files for hardcoded credentials with GitGuardian's 500 plus detectors, then list, assign, tag and resolve the incidents in your workspace. It can also create and list honeytokens and open pull requests that remove secrets from monitored repositories, with the available tools set by the scopes of your token.

Who it is for

  • Developers who want a secrets check on AI-written code
  • Security and DevSecOps teams
  • Teams already monitoring secrets with GitGuardian

Prompts to try

Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.

Prompt 1
Scan this codebase for leaked secrets or API keys before I push.
Prompt 2
Show the open secret incidents assigned to me and explain how to fix each one.
Prompt 3
Create a honeytoken called staging-db and suggest where to place it.
