The VulnCheck MCP Server
The VulnCheck MCP Server connects AI assistants to VulnCheck vulnerability intelligence. Ask your AI tools about CVEs, exploits, advisories, and vulnerable packages — directly in your editor or terminal, using natural language.
Use Cases
- CVE research: Look up vulnerability details, severity, exploitability, and affected versions while reviewing code or triaging issues
- Dependency analysis: Check packages by CPE or PURL to identify known vulnerabilities before shipping
- Exploit intelligence: Determine whether a CVE has known exploit code, active exploitation, or C2 indicators
- Advisory lookup: Search vendor and ecosystem advisories by package, product, or keyword
- Index queries: Query VulnCheck's breach, botnet, and threat intelligence indices for real-time context
Requirements
- A VulnCheck API token — create one here
