AI coding assistants write code fast. Whether that code follows your team's security standards is a different question — one that typically gets answered in PR review, after the fact, by a human who has to explain the same patterns for the hundredth time.
SC Sentinel fixes that at the source. It's an HTTP server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which means any MCP-compatible coding assistant can query it for your team's security standards before writing a single line.
What SC Sentinel actually does
When you configure your AI coding assistant to point at an SC Sentinel endpoint, the assistant can fetch security context at generation time. That context — your team's approved patterns, forbidden APIs, required validation approaches, OWASP-derived rules — becomes part of the prompt that shapes what the assistant produces.
It's not a linter. It doesn't run after the code exists. It shapes the code before it's written.
The MCP protocol, briefly
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for exposing structured context to AI systems over HTTP. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot can call MCP servers as part of their workflow, pulling domain-specific knowledge that the base model doesn't have.
SC Sentinel is an MCP server specialized for security context. You run it (or point at our hosted endpoint), configure your assistant with the URL, and done.
Free tier vs. paid license
The free tier is real and functional. Your assistant gets a hello and health response — enough to confirm the integration works and to evaluate the protocol before committing to anything.
An activated license unlocks the full security context response: your configured rule packs, OWASP cross-references, framework-specific guidance, and the per-request context that makes the difference in generated code quality.
Licenses are seat-based. A solo developer gets a single-seat license; a team gets seats per active user, managed from the SC Sentinel dashboard.
Who it's for
SC Sentinel is built for security-conscious engineering teams that have already invested in documenting their standards and are tired of watching those standards fail to reach AI-generated code. If your team does security reviews, you already have the raw material — SC Sentinel gives it a runtime home inside your assistants.
What's next
The current release covers the core MCP endpoint and license activation. Coming soon: custom rules (define your own rules in the dashboard), per-project context scoping, and usage analytics so you can see which rules are firing most often.
