Overview

Connect Snyk to Continue Mission Control to enable agents to automatically detect, analyze, and resolve security vulnerabilities. When Snyk is enabled, Continue can generate PRs to fix vulnerabilities, analyze security patterns, and maintain application security posture.

What You Can Do with Snyk Integration

  • Automatically generate PRs to fix security vulnerabilities
  • Analyze dependency risks and suggest updates
  • Monitor security posture across projects
  • Create detailed vulnerability reports with remediation steps
  • Track vulnerability trends and compliance status

​
Setup

1

Navigate to Integrations

Go to your Integrations Settings.
2

Connect Snyk

Click “Connect” next to Snyk integration.
3

Authorize with Snyk

Click the “Connect with Snyk” button to authorize Continue Mission Control:
  • You’ll be redirected to Snyk’s OAuth authorization page
  • Review and approve the requested permissions
  • You’ll be automatically redirected back to the Snyk inbox view
4

Verify Connection

Once redirected back, you’ll see:
  • A confirmation that Snyk is connected
  • Your Snyk projects available for monitoring
  • Any active vulnerability alerts
OAuth Authorization: No manual token configuration needed! Simply click the authorization button and Continue will securely handle the authentication flow with Snyk.

​
Integration with GitHub

Combine Snyk with GitHub integration for a complete security workflow:
1

Connect Both Integrations

Enable both Snyk and GitHub integrations in Mission Control
2

Create a Security Agent

Build an agent that:
  • Receives Snyk vulnerability alerts
  • Analyzes the security issue in your codebase
  • Creates a PR with the security fix
  • Adds security impact analysis to the PR
3

Set Up Automated Security Workflow

Configure the agent to run automatically on new critical vulnerabilities

​
Monitoring Agent Activity

Track your agent’s security remediation performance:
  1. View in Inbox: Navigate to the Snyk view to see all Snyk-related agent activity
  2. Check Snyk Dashboard: Verify that vulnerabilities are being addressed
  3. Review PRs: Ensure quality and security of generated fixes
  4. Monitor Metrics: Track mean time to remediation (MTTR) and fix rate

​
Troubleshooting

Problem: Can’t complete the Snyk authorization flowSolutions:
  • Ensure you have appropriate permissions in your Snyk organization
  • Check if your organization allows OAuth integrations
  • Try logging out and back into Snyk before authorizing
  • Clear browser cookies and try again
Problem: Snyk projects aren’t visible after connectionSolutions:
  • Verify you have access to projects in Snyk
  • Check that projects are properly imported in Snyk
  • Refresh the integration connection
  • Ensure the OAuth scope includes project access
Problem: Agent returns errors when trying to fetch Snyk dataSolutions:
  • Verify the OAuth connection is still valid
  • Re-authorize if the token has expired
  • Check that the agent has the necessary Snyk context provider
  • Review agent logs for specific error messages
Problem: Agent isn’t running when new vulnerabilities are foundSolutions:
  • Verify webhook configuration in Snyk integration settings
  • Check that webhook URL points to Continue Mission Control
  • Ensure webhook events include vulnerability detection
  • Review webhook delivery logs in Snyk
