• Bringing AI Agents to CI/CD: Using ToolHive and Buildkite to Bring Intelligence to Vulnerability Scanning
  3 projects | dev.to | 18 Aug 2025

  There’s a lot of energy around MCP, and we need to channel that into putting the protocol to work in production environments. Agentic vulnerability scanning is a compelling use case and it hints at the potential of agentic workflows in CI/CD pipelines. If you want to give this a try, we created the ToolHive Buildkite Plugin to be simple and secure. Of course, we also encourage you to check out ToolHive for other MCP use cases; you can explore our GitHub repo or reach out directly via Discord.

• From Unknown to Verified: Solving the MCP Server Trust Problem

  At Stacklok, we created ToolHive because we saw a gap in running MCP servers easily but also securely. As security engineers, we knew there had to be a better way.

  This looks interesting, but anytime security is offloaded to an LLM I am extremely skeptical. IMO the right way to do this is to enforce permissions explicitly through a AuthZ policy. Something like what Toolhive [0] is doing is the right way I think.

  All MCP comms from client to server go through an SSE proxy which has AuthN and AuthZ enabled. You can create custom policies for AuthZ using Cedar [1].
