## Description

Connect your Contrast Security platform to any AI agent and bring powerful AppSec monitoring to your conversational workflow. You can audit the security posture of your applications without digging through complex UI menus. Imagine you are in the middle of a security audit and need to know exactly which applications are currently showing critical vulnerabilities. Instead of logging into a dashboard, clicking through menus, and filtering by severity, you just ask your agent. This Connector gives your AI a direct line into your Contrast Security data. You can have it pull a list of all monitored apps, find the specific traces that matter, and give you the technical breakdown of an exploit in seconds. It is about moving from where is that bug to how do I fix this without the friction of a UI. When you add this to your Vinkius catalog, your AI becomes a first responder for your AppSec team. It handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval so you can focus on the actual remediation.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the most critical vulnerabilities in our production apps right now?
```

**Response:** 
```
I found 3 **CRITICAL** vulnerabilities that need immediate attention:

| Application | Vulnerability Type | Trace UUID |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `Payment-Gateway` | SQL Injection | `tr-992x-bb` |
| `User-Auth-API` | Deserialization | `tr-441z-aa` |
| `Legacy-Portal` | Path Traversal | `tr-110w-cc` |

Would you like me to pull the technical details for the `Payment-Gateway` trace?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Are there any servers in our fleet that are missing the Contrast agent?
```

**Response:** 
```
I checked the monitored servers. Here is the status:

- **Active Agents:** 42 servers
- **Missing Agents:** 3 servers

The following servers are currently not reporting:
- `prod-db-04`
- `staging-web-09`
- `dev-test-02`

Should I pull the application details for these servers?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me the technical breakdown for trace UUID tr-992x-bb.
```

**Response:** 
```
Decompressing trace `tr-992x-bb`...

This is an **untrusted SQL Injection** vulnerability.
- **Source:** `POST /api/v1/payments`
- **Vulnerable Code:** `PaymentController.java` at line 114
- **Status:** Open / Untriaged
- **Context:** The input from the `amount` field is not being sanitized before being passed to the database query.
```

## Capabilities

### Audit monitored applications
Get a full list of every application currently being monitored by your Contrast sensors.

### Filter for critical flaws
Instantly pull only the vulnerabilities marked as CRITICAL for immediate triage.

### Analyze exploit traces
Retrieve deep technical details for specific vulnerability traces to see exactly where code failed.

### Search apps by name
Quickly locate specific microservices or applications using a simple name search.

### Verify sensor coverage
Check which servers have active agents deployed to ensure no production gaps.

### Audit organization users
List all users within your Contrast Security organization for permission reviews.

## Use Cases

### Rapid Triage
A SecOps engineer asks what the top 3 critical vulnerabilities are right now. The agent pulls the traces and provides a summary for immediate action.

### In-IDE Vulnerability Research
A developer sees a flagged application and asks for the specific trace details. The agent retrieves the exact code failure to help them fix it in Cursor.

### Fleet Coverage Audit
A DevOps lead asks the agent to list all servers with active agents. They use the result to identify which staging environments are missing coverage.

### Targeted Vulnerability Hunting
A security researcher uses search_vulnerabilities to find all SQL injection traces across the entire portfolio to identify systemic issues.

## Benefits

- Stop digging through UI menus to find production flaws with list_critical_vulnerabilities.
- Get exploit context immediately in your IDE using get_vulnerability_details.
- Verify sensor coverage across your entire fleet with list_monitored_servers.
- Speed up ticket creation by pulling app data with get_application_details.
- Audit your security team's access quickly with list_organization_users.
- Find specific microservices in seconds using search_applications_by_name.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your entire Contrast security posture.

1. Subscribe to the Contrast Security MCP via the Vinkius Marketplace.
2. Authorize the connection using your Contrast Application API keys and Org ID.
3. Ask your agent to find vulnerabilities, audit your fleet, or pull application details.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the Contrast Security MCP help my security team?**
It gives your team a way to query your security data using natural language. Instead of clicking through dashboards, your team can ask your agent to find critical flaws, check sensor coverage, or get exploit details instantly.

**Can I use the Contrast Security MCP to find vulnerabilities in my code?**
Yes, it allows your agent to pull specific vulnerability traces from Contrast. Your team can then ask for the technical breakdown of those flaws to see exactly which lines of code are affected.

**Does the Contrast Security MCP replace my security dashboard?**
No, it complements it. It acts as a conversational bridge to your Contrast data, allowing you to get specific answers quickly without having to navigate the full UI for every single request.

**Is the Contrast Security MCP safe for my production data?**
It uses your existing Contrast Application API keys and Org ID to access your data. It follows the same security protocols you already have in place with Contrast Security.

**Can the Contrast Security MCP check if my servers are protected?**
Yes, your agent can use this Connector to list all monitored servers. This makes it easy to quickly verify that your Contrast agents are deployed where they need to be.

**What kind of applications can I monitor with Contrast Security MCP?**
You can monitor any application your Contrast sensors are currently covering. The Connector can list all of them, search for them by name, and provide specific details for each one.

**How do I find my Contrast Security API credentials?**
Log into your Contrast Security web interface. Navigate directly to your profile dropdown via **User Settings** -> **Profile**. Here you will find your distinct Authorization Key (encoded string), API Key, and the required Organization UUID at the very top.

**What exactly is termed a 'Trace' in the Contrast ecosystem?**
A Trace is the Contrast terminology applied to a single explicit instance of a security vulnerability uncovered deep within an executing application. Every trace holds a massive amount of payload data concerning the attack vectors.

**Can I use this Connector integration to completely delete trace incidents?**
No. The integration architecture focuses heavily on purely read-only auditing workflows. Features like permanently overwriting and deleting incident historical data are prohibited to ensure strong forensic compliance logs.

**Can I use this MCP integration to completely delete trace incidents?**
