Shifting left with AI and MCP: Sysdig + Amazon Q Developer

The blog post highlights the integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with AI tools, particularly focusing on combining Sysdig MCP Server with Amazon Q Developer in VS Code to enhance security workflows. This integration supports a "shift-left" approach in software development, enabling developers to identify and address infrastructure as code (IaC) misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and potential attack paths during the development phase rather than after deployment. By leveraging these tools, developers can scan IaC files, analyze container images, and predict the security posture of their code, thereby minimizing risks before entering the CI/CD pipeline. The post emphasizes the reduced barrier to integrating diverse technologies with MCPs and encourages exploring additional MCP servers to further improve workflows and security practices.
