Install the Grype CLI as a prerequisite. Then add the MCP server configuration to your MCP client (e.g., in claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor’s MCP settings) with command: "node" and args: ["${GRYPE_MCP_SERVER_PATH}/index.ts"]. Launch the IDE and invoke the scanner through its MCP interface.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
