Black Duck Security Scanner

blackducksoftware/mcp-server

Connects Claude and other AI coding assistants to Black Duck Signal's security scanner with two main tools: run_changes_security_scan for incremental Git-based analysis of uncommitted changes or branch differences, and run_security_scan for targeted file and directory checks. Both return SARIF reports with vulnerability counts and severity breakdowns. The changes scan is faster since it only analyzes modified code, making it ideal for catching issues during active development. Requires a Signal license and API key. Best when you want security feedback directly in your coding assistant without switching to separate scanning tools or waiting for CI/CD pipelines.
