AI-assisted SAST, supply chain and secrets scanning
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Semgrep combines static analysis, dependency scanning and secrets detection with AI-assisted triage that filters noise and tailored remediation guidance in PRs and IDEs. It runs from the CLI, CI and IDEs, checks PRs on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure, and exposes MCP integrations for tools like Cursor. Pricing could not be read on the vendor site during review, so cost needs confirming before you plan a rollout.
