A New Chapter for API Security: Introducing the Salt MCP Server

There are rare moments when the technology world takes a massive leap forward.

Today is one of those moments.

At Salt Security, we have always believed that APIs form the connective tissue of the modern enterprise. As AI accelerates the pace of business beyond anything we’ve seen before, a simple truth has become clear:

The way we discover, understand, and secure APIs must evolve, or we will be left behind.

That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of the Salt MCP Server – the first of its kind, and the beginning of a new era in API security.

The AI Revolution Isn’t Coming. It’s Here.

AI agents are already reshaping how enterprises operate.

But with this revolution comes a surge of invisible risk: 3x to 10x more API traffic, driven not by humans, but by automated systems working around the clock.

Every AI prompt, every microtask, every data fetch, it all travels through your APIs.

And traditional security models, built for yesterday’s web traffic, are simply not designed for this new reality.

Without a better way to manage AI-driven API interaction, organizations will find themselves vulnerable to invisible threats, hidden data leaks, and unchecked access.

Meet the Salt MCP Server: Understand Your APIs Like Never Before

The Salt MCP Server is a breakthrough in how enterprises uncover risk and gain visibility across their API ecosystems.

Built on the new Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, it combines Salt’s patented API intelligence with AI-native workflows to deliver a new level of context, insight, and control.

• Natural Language Insights: Ask complex questions about your API fabric and receive clear, accurate, and actionable answers.
• Deep API Understanding: Explore your API inventory with full context, including purpose, data sensitivity, exposure, and dependencies.
• Remediation Intelligence: Get precise, AI-driven guidance to close gaps before they become threats.

Picture it:

• An executive asking, “Where is our highest API risk right now?”
• A developer wondering, “What does this API do?”
• A security engineer asking, “How should we fix it, and how fast?”
• And getting instant clarity, not in weeks, days, but moments.

Here’s a quick video so you can see it in action!
