MCP server

Connect your app

Every app uses the same address, https://sentrint.com/mcp. There is no key to copy. The first time the app connects, your browser opens a Sentrint page where you approve it.

claude mcp add --transport http sentrint https://sentrint.com/mcp

codex mcp add sentrint --url https://sentrint.com/mcp

Claude apps

Claude Desktop and claude.ai reach the server from Anthropic's cloud, not from your computer. Choose Register automatically when Claude asks how it identifies itself.

Managed networks

If your company filters traffic, ask IT to allow sentrint.com.

Scripts and CI

The MCP server only takes a sign-in made in a browser. For automation, use the REST API with an API key.

Approve it

1. 1
   The app opens a page on sentrint.com/mcp/connect in your browser. Sign in, or create an account.
2. 2
   Check the app's name, where your browser goes next, and the permissions. An app picks its own name, so approve only an app you started from just now.
3. 3
   Choose Approve access or Deny. Your browser returns to the app, which is now connected.

The page shows the destination in a form you can check: the domain for a website, "an app on this computer" for a local address, and the full address for an app's own link. An approval page expires after 15 minutes.

Run a scan

You don't call the tools yourself. Ask the app in your own words:

Scan https://github.com/your-org/your-app with Sentrint and list the critical findings.

The app then makes three calls. Each opens its full reference.

Push first

Sentrint scans what is on GitHub, not the files on your computer. Push your branch before you ask.

Cost

Each new commit uses one scan from your plan. Scanning the same commit again is free.

Branches and commits

Leave out branch to scan the default branch. Name one to scan its latest commit, and add commit_sha to scan one exact commit on it. A scan of another branch never changes the default branch's issues, score trend or badge.

Workspace

The scan goes to the workspace that already tracks the repository, or else your first workspace.

Private repositories

On your Repositories page, use Choose repositories to let Sentrint read them. Until then, a private repository fails with repository_unavailable.

5 tools, read and scan only. No tool can change your code, delete results, or see billing or API keys. The description under each name is the text the app reads to decide when to call it.

Permissions

An app asks for every permission below unless it names fewer, and the approval page lists what it asked for. A tool the app was not allowed returns insufficient_scope. Reconnect and approve again to change them.

Limits

The usual scan limits still apply: one running scan per workspace, repository size and file limits, and your plan's allowance. A finding's file path is cut to 300 characters and its message to 600 before the app reads them. sentrint_get_findings returns up to 100 findings a page, and sentrint_list_scans up to 50 scans.

Errors

A failed call returns an error that starts with a code, then a colon and a sentence:

daily_limit: AI apps can start 20 scans a day on one account. Start more from https://sentrint.com/dashboard/new.

Apps show it to you or act on it. A scan that fails after it was accepted is not an error: sentrint_scan_status returns done as true, with error_code and error_detail.

Security

Same checks as the API

Each connection works through a hidden key of its own. Every call runs the same owner, permission, terms, rate-limit and allowance checks as the REST API. The hidden key never works as a REST key, and it does not count toward your 10 API keys.

Repository text is data

Findings and branch names come from the repository that was scanned, so they could contain text written to steer a model. Results that carry it say "untrusted_content": true, and hidden characters and line breaks are removed from that text before the app reads it.

Tokens

Access tokens last 1 hour. The app renews them with a refresh token that works once and lasts 30 days. Sentrint stores only hashes of them. A refresh token or sign-in code used twice ends the whole connection, because it means someone else holds a copy.

Connection lifetime

A connection ends after 30 days unused, or 365 days after you approved it, whichever comes first. Then approve the app again.

Bound to this server

Tokens are issued for https://sentrint.com/mcp only, and the server turns away browser requests from other sites.

Audit log

Every approval and disconnect appears in your Audit logs.

What is kept

An app registration that was never approved is deleted after 7 days. Daily call counts for the usage charts are kept 90 days.

Disconnect

Open MCP settings and choose Disconnect next to the app. It loses access on its next call. Scans it already started keep running and stay in your history.

For client developers

The server follows the MCP authorization spec. A client that supports remote servers with OAuth needs nothing beyond the address.

Registration

Register 1 to 5 redirect URIs of up to 512 characters, with no fragment. Allowed: http on 127.0.0.1, localhost or ::1; https on a public domain name; or your app's own scheme. Browser and system schemes are refused. Public clients register with token_endpoint_auth_method set to none and use PKCE; a client with a secret can use client_secret_post or client_secret_basic.

Authorization

Send resource=https://sentrint.com/mcp or leave it out; any other resource is refused. state can be up to 512 characters. Scopes are any of findings:read, scans:create, scans:read.

Lifetimes

The approval page lasts 15 minutes. A code lasts 10 minutes and works once. Access tokens last 1 hour and refresh tokens 30 days.
