Argus — Perception is Protection

Unified security scanning — SAST, containers, IaC, secrets, dependencies, and DAST from a single CLI.

Install

pip install argus-security

Quick Start

argus init        # Create argus.yml config
argus scan        # Run all configured scanners

Or scan immediately without a config file:

argus scan bandit gitleaks osv --severity-threshold high

Features

  • 14+ security scanners -- SAST, secrets, containers, IaC, dependencies, DAST, supply chain, malware
  • Single CLI -- argus scan runs everything, locally or in CI
  • Flexible selection -- run all scanners, specific ones, or groups
  • Multiple output formats -- terminal, Markdown, SARIF, JSON
  • Severity thresholds -- fail builds on low, medium, high, or critical
  • Docker-backed execution -- scanners run in containers when not installed locally
  • Config-driven -- argus.yml for repeatable scan profiles
  • GitHub Actions integration -- composite actions for native CI/CD workflows
  • Linting built in -- YAML, JSON, Python, JavaScript, Dockerfile, Terraform

pip install argus-security[mcp]

Add to your AI tool's MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "argus": {"command": "argus", "args": ["mcp"]}
  }
}
