Details
From the project READMEKOREXT Enforce Action
Enforce compliance policies on AI generated code in your GitHub workflows.
72 policy packs. 532 rules. 13 languages. Violations appear as GitHub Code Scanning annotations on pull requests.
Quick Start
Add this to .github/workflows/korext.yml:
name: Korext Enforcement
on: [push, pull_request]
permissions:
contents: read
security-events: write
jobs:
enforce:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: Korext/enforce-action@v3
with:
api-token: ${{ secrets.KOREXT_API_TOKEN }}
Korext scans your code on every push and PR using the default web policy pack.
How It Works
- Install: The action installs the Korext CLI
- Scan: Runs
korext enforceagainst your codebase with the selected policy pack - Report: Generates a SARIF file and uploads it to GitHub Code Scanning
- Gate: Fails the workflow if critical or high severity violations are found
Violations appear as annotations directly on the PR diff, powered by GitHub Code Scanning.

with:
pack: web,pci-dss-v1,owasp-v1
api-token: ${{ secrets.KOREXT_API_TOKEN }}
EU Data Sovereignty
- uses: Korext/enforce-action@v3
with:
pack: gdpr-v1
region: eu
api-token: ${{ secrets.KOREXT_API_TOKEN }}
Scan Specific Directory

Authentication
For full access to all policy packs and signed proof bundles, create an API token in your KOREXT dashboard and add it as a GitHub secret:
- Go to app.korext.com > Settings > API Tokens
- Create a new token
- Add it as
KOREXT_API_TOKENin your repo's Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
Without a token, the action runs in anonymous mode (20 requests per hour, limited packs).

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
