Legit Security, a global leader in AI-native application security posture management (ASPM), announced a major new feature that furthers its commitment to better serve the AI-first developer community: Legit MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server. With this new offering, Legit brings ASPM to AI-led development, making vulnerability management as simple as asking a question.

Through the Legit MCP Server, AI code assistants like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf leverage Legit to determine the security of generated code, enforce guardrails to prevent issues, and drive automated remediation. Acting like an “API” to interface with AI agents, the Legit MCP Server provides development teams with the ability to run in-code vulnerability checks during the pre-production development process within numerous code editors and IDEs. As an open standard supporting different AI systems, MCP can universally connect with any AI-agnostic code editor and directly with the data source.
Why This Matters for Developers
AI is revolutionizing how software gets built — faster, smarter, and more autonomously. But it also introduces more risk than we’ve ever seen and upends application security, which wasn’t designed for AI-driven development processes. Legit ASPM is the first and only AI-native ASPM platform purpose-built to secure development workflows, including those with AI at the core. The Legit MCP Server gives developers real-time security insights and remediation embedded directly into their AI-powered assistants — no learning curve, no context switching, all in natural language.
“AI has completely changed the way engineering teams build software and created an opportunity to bring security directly into that process,” says Liav Caspi, co-founder and CTO at Legit. “Additionally, empowering security teams to leverage AI through Legit’s application security data fabric holds enormous untapped potential that we are just beginning to uncover. The ability to extract any security posture report you want just by asking your favorite AI chat is a game changer. Legit MCP empowers developers and AppSec with the ability to run security checks on the go, with no learning curve, while making secure coding 100 times easier, faster and just more enjoyable.”
