What is Semgrep Server: Real-Time Flaw Detection & Prevention?
Semgrep Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) based tool that integrates real-time code analysis into development workflows. By leveraging Semgrep's rule-based scanning engine, it enables teams to detect security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and code quality flaws instantly during development. The server acts as a central hub for managing scan rules, executing analyses, and processing results via standardized MCP communication.

Getting started is straightforward:
1. Clone the repository and install dependencies using npm
2. Build the project with npm run build
3. Launch in production mode with npm start
