GitHub secret scanning via the GitHub MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is now generally available. Developers using MCP-compatible AI coding agents or IDEs like GitHub Copilot CLI or VS Code can scan code for exposed secrets before committing or opening a pull request. The GA release adds support for existing push protection customizations at the repository or organization level. Setup involves configuring the GitHub MCP server and optionally installing the GitHub Advanced Security plugin for a more tailored experience.
