Frame MCP Server

frame-mcp

mcp-name: io.github.lambdasec/frame-mcp

An MCP server that exposes the Frame security scanner to any MCP client, so a coding agent can scan code, verify fixes, and reason about vulnerabilities over stdio.

Frame combines taint analysis with separation logic verification to find data-flow vulnerabilities (SQL injection, command injection, path traversal, and more), and checks each reported path with a solver. This package wraps the frame command line program as MCP tools. It launches frame as a subprocess with an explicit argument list, never a shell, and prefers the frame executable installed next to the running Python interpreter.

Install

Run directly with uvx (no separate install step):

uvx frame-mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add frame -- uvx frame-mcp

Codex

Add this stanza to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.frame]
command = "uvx"
args = ["frame-mcp"]

Cursor

Create .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frame": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["frame-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Create .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "frame": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["frame-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json under the mcpServers key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frame": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["frame-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json under the mcpServers key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frame": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["frame-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Zed

Add to Zed settings.json under context_servers:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "frame": {
      "command": {
        "path": "uvx",
        "args": ["frame-mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

A security-review prompt chains scan (with the AI layer), verify, and an offer to fix.

AI features and environment variables

The scan tool with ai=true, along with fix and exploit, call an LLM through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Configure it with these environment variables in the MCP client that launches the server:

These are inherited from the server process environment and forwarded to each frame subprocess. The plain scan (taint analysis plus verification) needs none of them.

Exploit authorization

The exploit tool drives an autonomous agent that sends live traffic to a target. Run it only against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Unauthorized testing of systems you do not control may be illegal.
