Introducing the Jit MCP Server: Security Context and Automation at Your Fingertips

Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Jit, now available in preview for our customers. 

MCP is an innovative new standard rapidly gaining traction across the AI ecosystem — designed to bridge the gap between applications and large language models (LLMs). Jit”s MCP server will enable developers to access Jit’s findings, investigate the impact and severity of security issues, and resolve them without leaving their IDE.

Empowering Security with MCP

At Jit, we’ve built our own MCP Server to elevate how developers extract, connect, and act on security data — with three core benefits:

• Simplify code security: Code security can be extremely complex — requiring a deep understanding of how software is built, how dependencies interact, how software flaws can be exploited in real-world environments. Jit’s MCP makes it easier to comprehend software flaws and their implications on security by explaining impact in clear language.

• Automation for developers: Jit users can surface this intelligence directly inside their IDEs (such as Cursor) using simple prompts. Pull lists of detected code security findings, investigate them, and auto-generate remediations without ever leaving your development workflow.

• Contextual intelligence: By tying together security findings, DevOps data, and organizational context, teams can enrich every finding with the real-world business impact unique to their organization — helping them fix what matters most, faster.

In the video below, you’ll see just how easy it is for a developer to put Jit’s MCP Server to work. 

Use Cases

With the Jit MCP Server, teams can seamlessly translate plain-language prompts into security operations:

• Detection: List critical issues by service, repo, or cloud resource.

• Investigate runtime context: Investigate if issues are internet-facing, loaded in production, or active in memory.

• Investigate business requirements context: Assess impact based on internal policies or compliance frameworks.

• Investigate sensitive data risk: Check if vulnerabilities expose sensitive data.

• Determine ownership: Identify who owns each issue.

• Implement remediation: Generate and apply secure code fixes.

• Verify fixes: Loop back to Jit to verify fixes and close the loop.

Securing the Protocol

While the Model Context Protocol unlocks powerful new capabilities, it also comes with new security considerations. Our CTO, David Melamed, explores these risks — and how to mitigate them — in his latest talk.

The Future is AI-First Security

The Jit MCP Server is a huge step forward in putting secure, context-rich data directly where your developers and security teams need it most. By combining unified data, organizational context, and seamless IDE integration, we’re helping teams remediate faster and build safer software — with less friction than ever before.
