How do Apiiro and Endor Labs cover AI code and coding assistants?

Apiiro: Detects risk across AI coding agents, IDE extensions and MCP servers, works with Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, and scans with AI SAST and AI SCA.

Endor Labs: AURI inventories coding agents, models, MCP servers and skills, and the MCP server installs into Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code with Copilot, Codex and Antigravity. AI SAST traces dataflow across repositories and pull requests.

Assistants named on their public pages: Apiiro: Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot; Endor Labs: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex.

Where do their controls run on the developer machine?

Apiiro: The Apiiro CLI brings the platform into the terminal and into AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot; an endpoint agent and tamper resistance are not described.

Endor Labs: Runs locally through an MCP server (npx endorctl ai-tools mcp-server) and AURI agents that run inside Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex and Google Antigravity on customer infrastructure; an endpoint application and tamper resistance are not described.

How much control does the security team get?

Apiiro: Guardian Agent adds pre-commit prevention and secure prompt enrichment; policy to approve or block specific agents or MCP servers is not described in detail.

Endor Labs: AURI applies policy at the moment of action with an audit trail, and mutating agent actions sit behind approval gates; scoping policy by team or machine is not described.

How do they fit the developer's workflow?

Apiiro: Developer surface through the CLI, MCP and AutoFix; no free tier for commercial teams (AutoFix is free for open source maintainers).

Endor Labs: The free Developer tier runs locally with no account.

How do they fix and prioritize findings?

Apiiro: A Software Architecture Graph and Risk Graph tie code to runtime, and AutoFix generates fixes for SAST, SCA, secrets, container and IaC risks.

Endor Labs: Reachability across dependencies, containers and code, and AURI agents write SAST fixes and open SCA upgrade pull requests behind approval gates. Ingestion of third-party scanner findings is not confirmed.

How do they compare on price?

Apiiro: free tier: No (AutoFix free for open source maintainers); lowest published paid option: Contact sales; pricing unit: Not published.

Endor Labs: free tier: Yes: Developer tier, local, no account; lowest published paid option: Contact sales; pricing unit: Contributors with commits in the last 90 days.
