Black Duck Signal Debuts on the Claude Directory

Black Duck Signal now available to Claude users, bringing real-time vulnerability detection directly into AI-assisted development workflows

Black Duck, the leader in AI-powered application security, announced that Black Duck Signal™ is now available as an MCP server in the Claude Directory, making its AI-powered security analysis accessible directly within Claude Desktop.

As AI coding assistants accelerate how quickly developers write and ship code, security teams face growing pressure to keep pace without slowing teams down. Signal addresses that gap by embedding vulnerability scanning at the point of code generation and review inside the same Claude Desktop environment developers already use to write, refactor, and reason about code.

Signal Code Analysis is an AI-powered security analysis engine that brings real-time, contextual vulnerability detection into modern development workflows. Delivered through the Black Duck Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, Signal connects directly to Claude Desktop, allowing developers to scan git changes, individual files, or entire projects for security vulnerabilities without leaving their AI-assisted workflow.

Scanned source content is transmitted to Black Duck’s remote analysis endpoint for processing. Once a scan is complete, results are exposed as MCP resources, giving Claude the structured context it needs to reason about findings, explain risk, and help developers prioritize and remediate issues in natural language.

“Developers are moving faster than ever with Claude, but that speed can’t come at the expense of security,” said Dipto Chakravarty, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Black Duck. “Bringing Signal into the Claude Directory means Claude users get blended, AI-powered vulnerability detection built directly into the workflow they’re already in, so security keeps pace with how fast teams are building.”
