Today, Mend.io is expanding its AppSec capabilities to secure the five most popular agentic IDEs — including Windsurf, CoPilot, Claude Code, Amazon Q Developer, and Cursor — ensuring that developers can move at AI speed without compromising security.

The next era of software creation

Agentic IDEs are redefining how code is written. Developers now collaborate directly with intelligent coding agents that can generate, refactor, and debug entire codebases in seconds. Major tech leaders like Google and Microsoft estimate that up to 30% of their code is now AI generated, a number that’s only growing.

But with this acceleration comes an urgent question: who secures the code before it’s ever reviewed or tested? Traditional security tools step in too late, after AI code has already entered the repository.

Security at the moment of creation

We’re bringing security directly into the AI workflow. By embedding Mend SAST and Mend SCA into agentic IDEs via the Mend MCP server, developers gain real-time protection as AI agents generate code.

• Detect vulnerabilities instantly — Mend SAST identifies flaws in AI-generated and custom code as it’s being written.
• Autonomously fix issues — Mend SAST and Mend SCA feed the IDE with findings to resolve vulnerabilities in both proprietary and open-source code before commits ever reach your CI/CD pipeline.
• Streamline secure development — All of this happens seamlessly inside the IDE, with no added friction to developer workflows.

For the teams building at AI speed

From Head of Development trying to scale AI adoption safely, a security professional racing to regain visibility, to a DevSecOps lead striving to maintain speed without risk, delivering proactive, automated security needed to protect AI driven innovation is paramount.

By meeting developers where they work, inside their AI coding environments, we’re empowering teams to build faster, smarter, and more securely than ever before.

As the ecosystem of AI coding tools grows, security must evolve with it. Mend.io’s agentic IDE integrations mark a significant step toward autonomous, AI native application security where code is not only generated intelligently, but secured intelligently, too.
