Quick Start

Step 1: Add the MCP server

The fastest way to get started:

npx @finishkit/mcp login

This opens your browser, signs you in, and configures your editor automatically. See MCP Server setup for editor-specific instructions.

Step 2: Ask your AI to scan

In your editor, ask your AI assistant to scan your project. For example:

"Scan this repo with FinishKit and show me the critical findings."

The AI will use the scan_repo tool (for cloud scans) or request_intelligence_pack (for local analysis) depending on your setup.

Step 3: Review your findings

Findings appear directly in your editor conversation. You can also view them on your FinishKit Dashboard where they're organized into your Finish Plan.

Step 1: Get your app to GitHub

Your code needs to be in a GitHub repository. If it's already there, skip to Step 2.

Not sure how? Check the Get to GitHub guides for your specific tool.

Step 2: Install the FinishKit GitHub App

Go to your FinishKit Dashboard and click New Project. You'll be prompted to install the FinishKit GitHub App, which gives FinishKit read-only access to your repos.

Step 3: Select your repo and run a scan

Choose the repo and branch to scan, set a launch goal, and click Start Scan. The scan usually takes 2-5 minutes.

Step 4: Read your Finish Plan

Your Finish Plan shows every finding organized by severity. Start with the Blockers and Critical findings.
