What is Socket MCP?

The Socket MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Socket to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Socket (software supply chain security — scan dependencies for risks and malware) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses no authentication, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the Socket tools become available to the model.

Using Socket MCP with Gamut

On Gamut, the Socket MCP server becomes a tool your agents use inside an automated, event-driven workflow — triggered by an event or a schedule, acting through Socket and your other connected MCP servers, with the connection managed by Gamut rather than a local config file.
