# Mistral Vibe 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
