Zfuzz — security for everyone who builds with AI
You ask. Your AI answers with real scanners — not guesses.
Catch SQL injection, leaked API keys, and vulnerable dependencies while you build — no security background required. You don't run tools. You don't read dashboards. You just talk to your AI, and Zfuzz gives it real answers.
$0 · Apache-2.0 · No account · No API key · 100% local · Nothing leaves your machine
Made for vibe coders and developers alike. It plugs straight into the AI tools you already use — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode — and the web builders AI Studio, v0, and Lovable.
⚡ Add it in 10 seconds
Pick your tool. Copy one line. Done. No setup wizard, no account, no config to learn.
Cursor — one click
Click the button → Cursor opens → press Install. That's your two clicks.
Claude Code
Paste this in the chat and hit enter:
claude mcp add zfuzz -- npx -y @zfuzz/mcp
VS Code (Copilot)
code --add-mcp '{"name":"zfuzz","command":"npx","args":["-y","@zfuzz/mcp"]}'
Codex
codex mcp add zfuzz npx -y @zfuzz/mcp
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add zfuzz npx -y @zfuzz/mcp
Lovable · v0 · AI Studio — in your browser, no install
Open your tool's MCP / Integrations settings and paste this URL:
https://api.zfuzz.com/mcp
<details> <summary><b>Other tools</b> — OpenCode, Claude Desktop, or a manual config file</summary>
Claude Desktop — Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"zfuzz": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@zfuzz/mcp"] }
}
}
OpenCode — add to opencode.json:
{
"mcp": {
"zfuzz": { "type": "local", "command": ["npx", "-y", "@zfuzz/mcp"] }
}
}
Self-host the web (HTTP) endpoint instead of using the hosted URL:
npx -y @zfuzz/mcp --transport http --port 8099
Then point your tool at http://localhost:8099/mcp.
(Use port 8099, not 8090 — 8090 is the Zfuzz platform's own port.)
</details>
That's it. Keep talking to your AI like normal — the first time your code needs a security check, it calls Zfuzz on its own.
Agent compatibility matrix
Works with every major AI coding agent — and any MCP-compatible client. One line locally, or a hosted URL in the browser. Same 10 tools everywhere.

| Any other MCP client | ✅ | stdio npx -y @zfuzz/mcp, or the hosted URL in-browser |
No per-agent config to learn — the exact copy-paste line for each is under Add it in 10 seconds.
What it feels like
You: Is my login page safe?
AI: [scans your file] Found 2 issues:
- SQL injection on line 42 — anyone could read your whole database.
- No rate limiting on the login — bots can guess passwords forever. Here's the fix… [writes the patch]
You: Did I leave any passwords or keys in my code?
AI: [scans the project] Yes — your OpenAI key is hard-coded in
config.js. Anyone who sees this repo can use it on your bill. Move it to an environment variable — here's how…
You: Are the packages I installed safe?
AI: [checks your dependencies] 2 have known security holes.
lodashlets attackers run code on your server. One command fixes both:npm update lodash axios.
You never typed a command, opened a scanner, or read a report. You just asked.
See it in action
<div align="center">

You vibecode it. It ships with holes you can't see. Zfuzz catches them all — before you ship, for $0.
</div>
You don't need to understand security
- You never run a scanner yourself — your AI does, automatically, when it matters.
- You never read a dashboard — answers come back in plain English, in your chat.
- You never pay and nothing leaves your computer — no account, no cloud, no API key.
If you can copy-paste one line, you're covered.
What's under the hood
10 real tools your AI can call (it picks the right one — you don't have to):
| Tool | In plain English |
|---|---|
scan_code |
Finds bugs attackers exploit — 441 rules, 7 languages (Python, JS/TS, Go, Java, Rust, Ruby, PHP). |
scan_secrets |
Catches leaked passwords & API keys — 419 patterns (AWS, GitHub, Stripe, OpenAI, Anthropic…). |
scan_dependencies |
Flags packages with known security holes (CVEs via OSV.dev). |
scan_mcp_config |
Audits the MCP servers you install — hidden instructions, unicode tricks, wildcard permissions, unauthenticated remote servers. Returns a risk score + install verdict. |
scan_skill |
Vets an agent skill (its SKILL.md + bundled scripts) before you install it — hidden instructions, unicode deception, over-broad triggers, wildcard tool grants, and dangerous code or leaked secrets in its scripts. |
reconcile_permissions |
Compares the tools your agents actually use against what they declared — flags capabilities used but never declared, and permissions granted but never used (least privilege, from runtime telemetry). |
check_mitre |
Maps any finding to real-world attack techniques (MITRE ATT&CK). |
threat_model |
Asks "how could this be attacked?" across your whole project (STRIDE + MITRE). |
explain_finding |
Explains any vulnerability — and the fix — in everyday language. |
search_security_procedures |
Looks up 754 security playbooks (incident response, hardening, compliance). |
Built in Rust for sub-second answers. The AI brain is your editor's own model (Claude/GPT) — Zfuzz adds the security muscle, not another subscription.
What's inside
| 441 SAST rules across 7 languages | 419 secret-detection patterns |
| 75+ MITRE ATT&CK techniques | 754 security playbooks |
| Rust — sub-second scans | 100% local — nothing leaves your machine |
What a scan actually returns
You: Is this skill safe to install?
AI: [runs
scan_skill]Verdict: DO NOT INSTALL (risk 100/100, 6 findings) CRIT ZF-C001 Prompt Injection Pattern Detected @ description MED ZF-SK001 Overly Broad Skill Trigger @ description HIGH ZF-LP001 Wildcard Permission Grant (Bash(*), *) @ allowed-tools CRIT ZF-C002 Pipe-to-Shell Download-Exec (curl | bash) @ setup.sh HIGH ZF-H001 Hardcoded Secret: AWS Access Key ID @ setup.shThis skill hides "ignore all previous instructions" in its description, grants itself every tool, and its setup script pipes a remote payload straight into a shell. Don't install it.
Every finding is from a real deterministic scanner — there is no model guessing in the scan path.
Why not Snyk or Semgrep?
| Snyk / Semgrep | Zfuzz | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | A pipeline, 5–10 min after you push | Right in your editor, in seconds |
| When | After the bug shipped | While you're writing it |
| How | A dashboard + email alerts | A normal conversation with your AI |
| For non-coders | No — built for security teams | Yes — built for you |
| Cost | $25–100 / dev / month | Free, forever |
When to use · When to skip
Great fit if you…
- Vibecode apps with AI (Lovable, Cursor, v0, Bolt, Claude Code) and want them checked before you ship — without learning security.
- Want leaked keys, injectable code, and risky dependencies caught right in your editor, in plain English.
- Want to vet an MCP server or agent skill before you install it.
Skip it if you…
- Already run a full security team + pipeline and don't want findings in the editor.
- Work fully offline with no Node.js (the scanner binary is pulled via
npx/@zfuzz/cli). - Need a hosted dashboard with audit logs and SSO — that's the Zfuzz platform, not the free MCP.
Updating
npx -y @zfuzz/mcp always resolves the latest published version — most people never do anything.
npm view @zfuzz/mcp version # see the latest release
npm i -g @zfuzz/cli@latest # only if you pinned the CLI globally
Pinned a version in your MCP config? Bump it (or drop the pin) and restart your agent.
