MCP Server

MCP Server

Atheon ships a second binary, atheon-mcp, that exposes scanning as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool. This lets AI assistants call Atheon directly during a conversation.

Build

go build -o atheon-mcp ./cmd/mcp

Tools exposed

Tool	Description
scan_directory	Scan a directory and return findings
scan_file	Scan a single file
scan_string	Scan an arbitrary string
scan_env	Scan environment variables
list_patterns	List available patterns and categories

Connecting to an AI assistant

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atheon": {
      "command": "/path/to/atheon-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Use cases

• Pre-response filtering — scan content before including it in an AI response
• Repo auditing — ask the AI to scan a cloned repo and summarize findings
• CI assistant — integrate into an AI-driven code review workflow
