GitHub MCP Server now supports secret scanning directly within AI coding agent workflows. Before committing or opening a pull request, developers can prompt their AI coding agent to scan code changes for exposed credentials. The feature integrates with MCP-compatible IDEs and supports GitHub Copilot CLI and VS Code via an optional GitHub Advanced Security plugin. It is currently in public preview for repositories with GitHub Secret Protection enabled.
