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
