Get up and running with Corridor in a few quick steps. This assumes you have a Corridor account (sign up at app.corridor.dev) and access to the code repository you want to secure.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Corridor account (sign up)
  • A supported IDE or AI coding tool (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Factory, Devin, or any MCP-compatible tool)
  • A GitHub repository to connect

​
Step 1: Connect GitHub

In the Corridor web app, you’ll be prompted to connect your GitHub account or organization. Authorize the Corridor GitHub App with the necessary permissions.
1

Sign in to Corridor

Go to app.corridor.dev and sign in with your GitHub account.
2

Authorize GitHub

Click Connect GitHub and authorize the Corridor GitHub App. You can grant access to All repositories or select specific repos—be sure to include any repos you want Corridor to monitor.
Corridor needs read access to code and permission to write PR comments to perform reviews.

​
Step 2: Add a project (repository)

Once GitHub is connected, add a repository as a Project in Corridor.
1

Go to Projects

In the Corridor dashboard, go to Projects and click New Project.
2

Select repository

Select the repo from the list to bring it under Corridor’s protection. You must add a project before Corridor can analyze its code—simply connecting GitHub isn’t enough.
3

Auto-generated guardrails

After adding, Corridor will scan the codebase and automatically generate initial security guardrails tailored to that project.

​
Step 3: Install the IDE extension

To get real-time guardrails while coding, install Corridor’s integration for your development environment:
  1. Open VS Code or Cursor
  2. Go to the Extensions panel (Cmd+Shift+X or Ctrl+Shift+X)
  3. Search for “Corridor”
  4. Click Install
  5. Reload your editor when prompted
After installation, you’ll see the Corridor icon in your sidebar. See VS Code / Cursor setup for detailed instructions.

​
Step 4: (Optional) Invite team members

If you’re on a Team or Enterprise plan, you can invite colleagues to join your Corridor workspace so they can benefit from the same guardrails and visibility.
1

Open Team Settings

Go to Team Settings → Members.
2

Invite members

Click Invite Member, enter their email, and select a role.
See Inviting Teammates for details. Skip this if you’re an individual user.

​
You’re all set

That’s it—Corridor is now set up! From this point on:
  • In the IDE: Your AI assistant (e.g. Cursor or Claude Code) will consult Corridor’s guardrails as you generate code, stopping insecure suggestions
  • For Pull Requests: Corridor will automatically review new PRs on your connected project. You’ll see comments or checks on the PR if any vulnerabilities are found
  • Dashboard: You can monitor findings and adjust settings via the Corridor Dashboard
You’ve successfully onboarded Corridor to your project—secure coding can now happen in real-time without breaking your flow.
