Gemini CLI MCP

The Aikido Claude Plugin connects Aikido’s security engine to AI coding tools. It automatically scanning 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 the Aikido Claude Plugin

• 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 inside Claude, making AI driven development safer by default
