AI

Surface integrates with AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Connect your preferred AI tool to scan files and payloads for malware directly from a conversation.

There are two ways to connect:

• Hosted MCP endpoint: a remote url you point an MCP client at. Inline payload scanning, profiles, account, usage. No install.
• Local server (npx @tendrl/surface-mcp): a stdio server that adds file scanning (including a fully offline mode) and API key management, and serves the Surface skills.

• MCP Server: Connect Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client (hosted endpoint and local server)
• AI Skills: Guided skills served by the local npx @tendrl/surface-mcp server
