01 · Install Snyk API & Web MCP Server

before you install - you'll need

MCP_SAW_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add snyk-saw-mcp -- uvx snyk-apiweb-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snyk-saw-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "snyk-apiweb-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
