Salt Security has introduced Salt Claude Connect, a new integration designed to give security teams continuous, read‑only visibility into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers linked to their Claude Enterprise organisation.
Salt Claude Connect uses Claude’s Compliance API to surface organisation‑managed MCP servers directly inside a team’s Salt inventory, showing when each server was added, updated or removed, alongside its current status. The tool aims to help enterprises answer a growing operational question as AI adoption accelerates: what is connected to their AI environment, and what can it access?
Recent research from Trend Micro found the number of MCP servers exposed on the public internet without authentication or encryption nearly tripled to 1,467 in a matter of months, many hosted on major cloud providers and offering direct read access to underlying data. Salt Security says maintaining a live inventory is essential for governing this expanding attack surface.
Salt Claude Connect provides a continuously updated list of connected MCP servers, labelled by source and showing server name, status and the most recent lifecycle event. The integration is read‑only, requires a single least‑privilege scope, and does not access prompts, chat content or project data.
Roey Eliyahu, co‑founder and CEO of Salt Security, said the integration gives teams a live view of MCP server activity so they can govern their Claude Enterprise environment with greater rigour.
Salt Claude Connect is available now for Salt Security customers using Claude Enterprise. Setup requires a Compliance Access Key with a read‑only scope and the organisation ID.
