About Niro
Niro is an MCP server published by the GitHub account apxlabs-ai. AI pentester for PRs — finds exploitable bugs and hands your developer agent the fix.

It asks for no keys or passwords.
Version 0.1.61 was published on 16 July 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 3 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.
