Jetbrains AI / Junie MCP

The Aikido MCP Plugin connects Aikido’s security engine to AI coding tools. It automatically scans AI generated code for vulnerabilities and hardcoded secrets as soon as it is created.

AI assistants can review their own output, but that review is not perfect. Aikido adds a reliable and consistent security layer that checks every generated snippet with proven scanning rules.

Why use Aikido MCP

Deterministic, independent security checks on every AI generated snippet before it is committed
Immediate detection and remediation of vulnerabilities and hardcoded secrets in AI assisted workflows
Real time feedback, making AI driven development safer by default

Installation

1
Add Aikido MCP server to your Jetbrains IDE config

In your IDE go to Settings | Tools | AI Assistant | Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Check out Jetbrains documentation for more information

On the Model Context Protocol (MCP) settings page, click Add to add a new MCP server configuration.

In the New MCP Server dialog, select how you want to connect to the MCP server and provide a JSON configuration:
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aikido": {
      "command": "npx -y @aikidosec/mcp@latest",
      "args": [],
      "environment": {}
    }
  }
}
```
Authenticate

On first use, ask the AI assistant to run aikido_login. It will return a browser link, follow it to log in to Aikido. Your token is stored securely once login is complete.

Adapt your agent instructions to use the Aikido MCP by adding the following skill or instructions.

## Purpose

Ensure that all first-party code is scanned for security issues whenever code is written or changed.

## Rules

- Always run **aikido_scan_paths** on all newly written, generated, added, or modified first-party code.
- Pass the file paths to the scanner. Only use **aikido_full_scan** when the code is not saved to disk yet.
- If any security issues are reported, apply the fixes using the remediation guidance from Aikido.
- Run **aikido_scan_paths** again after fixes to confirm that no issues remain and no new ones were introduced.
- Repeat the fix and rescan cycle until the scan passes with zero issues.
- If the Aikido MCP server is not installed or not running, inform the user to install it using the official setup guide at
