Perplexity

Automate 42Crunch audits in CI/CD pipelines

The 42Crunch MCP server turns your terminal into a headless API security controller. Claude Code handles the entire pipeline by running `import_api` to push your latest swagger file during the build step. Kicking off the static analysis happens immediately afterward. The CLI triggers `trigger_audit` and waits for the completion signal before pulling the final grade via `get_api` to decide if the build should fail.

Pipe 42Crunch MCP Server reports to shell scripts

Extracting security data for your DevOps workflows is simple with the 42Crunch MCP server. You ask the CLI to grab the latest findings, and it downloads the full JSON dump using `get_audit_report`. Parsing those results into custom dashboards takes zero manual effort. Claude Code can pull collection-wide metrics via `get_collection` and pipe the security scores directly into your monitoring stack.

Monitor live conformance scans

Tracking dynamic test execution works flawlessly from any SSH session through the 42Crunch MCP server. DevOps engineers use the CLI to fetch active testing jobs by running `list_scans` against production endpoints. Debugging failed tests no longer requires logging into a web dashboard. Claude Code pulls the raw failure data using `get_scan_report`, letting you grep through the payload mismatches right in your terminal.

Run `claude mcp add --transport http` followed by the Vinkius endpoint URL. Make sure to put all flags before the server name.

Yes, the CLI agent fetches your workspace structure on command. It executes `list_collections` and outputs the IDs directly to standard out.

Just ask the agent for the latest conformance results. It pulls the data via `get_scan_report` and formats the failure points as plain text in your terminal.

Managing your platform inventory works directly from the command line. The agent calls `delete_api` to remove old specifications without requiring a browser.

Your OpenAPI definitions and security audit reports remain entirely protected. The Vinkius endpoint requires a single auth token, keeping your raw schema files out of persistent storage.
