Salt Security has launched its new Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a solution designed to allow AI agents to safely interact with enterprise APIs using natural language, enhancing both access and security.

Built on the open MCP standard, Salt’s server acts as a secure gateway, converting natural language prompts into structured, authorized queries while enforcing governance and security policies. This enables AI-driven applications to safely analyze and act on API data without risking backend exposure.

As AI adoption accelerates, analysts project a 3x to 10x surge in API traffic, driven by AI agents continuously generating requests. Without tools like MCP servers, APIs risk becoming vulnerable to misuse, over-permissioning, or data breaches.

Salt’s MCP Server offers key features including contextual API search, API explanations, posture gap detection, and AI-generated remediation guidance—all via natural language interaction. This provides a “ChatGPT-like” experience for enterprise security teams, enabling faster, more informed decisions.

The MCP Server is now available through Salt’s Early Access Program. Interested organizations can request a demo at salt.security.
