The new integration turns GitHub Copilot, Claude, and
other AI coding tools into a direct interface for the
continuous penetration testing of web applications,
LLMs, MCP, and APIs, eliminating the gap between
writing code and knowing it is secure.
London, Verona, 15 June 2026 - Equixly, the agentic AI-powered offensive security platform for modern applications and APIs, today announced the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) that exposes Equixly’s full continuous penetration testing platform directly inside the AI coding assistants developers already use every day.
MCP is the emerging standard that allows AI coding assistants to communicate with external systems, extending what an LLM like GitHub Copilot or Claude can do beyond the editor itself. With the Equixly MCP integration, that capability now includes security. Developers can create services and projects, trigger penetration tests, retrieve findings with full remediation guidance, and confirm fixes all through natural language prompts, without leaving their development environment.
“Security and development have operated in silos for too long, and that separation has a real cost. Vulnerabilities introduced today are discovered weeks later, in a report that describes code that has already moved on. That is not a process problem; it is a structural one that the Equixly MCP integration resolves directly.
Security teams gain continuous assurance that what is being shipped has been validated against real attack conditions. Developers get exploit-validated findings at the speed they are working at, without breaking their workflow or waiting for an external engagement to complete. That is what genuine DevSecOps integration looks like in practice, and it is a significant step forward from where the industry has been.”
— Mattia Dalla Piazza, CEO and Co-Founder, Equixly
The integration reflects a broader shift in how AI is reshaping software development. As AI coding assistants become the primary interface through which developers write, test, and ship code, the tools that secure that code need to operate at the same layer, not alongside it. Equixly’s MCP integration is built specifically for this shift, giving development teams a way to validate security continuously, in context, as part of the existing find-fix-release cycle rather than as a separate discipline bolted on afterward.
The Equixly MCP integration follows a simple connect-prompt-test-fix workflow. Developers add Equixly as an MCP server with authentication scoped to their organization. From there, a single prompt to their AI coding assistant can configure a new service in Equixly, trigger a continuous penetration test against live endpoints, retrieve findings with exploit context and remediation guidance, and confirm that a fix has been successfully applied, all without leaving the IDE.
The launch also addresses a growing concern among security leaders that as AI becomes embedded in the development process itself, it introduces new risk as well as new capability. AI coding assistants can inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities into the systems they help build, and the same AI infrastructure - LLM integrations and MCP servers - is itself an attack surface that traditional tools were not built to test. Equixly’s MCP integration addresses both sides of this challenge, securing the code AI helps developers write, and securing the AI infrastructure itself, from within the same workflow.
