Perplexity

Trigger Scans Mid-Code via MCP Server

The `launch_scan` tool lets Cursor kick off a security test the moment you finish writing a new feature. You tell the agent to test your local branch, and it hits the Acunetix 360 API. You never leave your editor to start a compliance check. Waiting for a security team to approve a build takes too long. Your AI client handles the request in the background while you keep typing. It drops a notification in the chat panel when the target is actively being probed.

Monitor Active Scans from Cursor

Firing the `list_scans` tool brings your entire testing queue straight into your IDE. Cursor reads the status of every Acunetix 360 job to see if your recent commits passed. You get real-time feedback on what broke. This MCP Server bridges the gap between writing code and testing it. If a scan hangs, the agent pulls the error logs and displays them next to your terminal. You fix the issue and push the fix immediately.

Patch Vulnerabilities with Context

Pulling the `list_vulnerabilities` tool feeds exact threat payloads into Cursor. The agent sees the specific SQL injection or XSS flaw Acunetix 360 found. It immediately writes a patch for the exact line of code that caused the problem. Context switching kills developer momentum. Having the AI read the CVE details and apply the fix directly to your open file changes everything. You review the diff, accept the changes, and close the ticket.

Setup guide

Set up Acunetix 360 MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Acunetix 360 MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Acunetix 360 transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Acunetix 360 tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "acunetix-360-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about Acunetix 360 MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the Acunetix 360 MCP server URL under the mcpServers section. Turn on Agent mode in the chat panel to activate the tools.

Yes, it happens automatically when you ask. The agent calls the vulnerability list, reads the specific flaw, and generates the patch. You just hit accept on the inline diff.

You probably missed passing the required target URL in your prompt. The agent needs a specific endpoint to feed the launch command. Tell it exactly which staging server to test.

If you commit the configuration file to your repository, anyone who clones it gets the same tools. They just need their own Vinkius authentication token to connect.

No code leaves your machine during a scan check. The MCP protocol only fetches your identified security issues and scan lists from the remote API. Vinkius routes this traffic through a secure, isolated sandbox without caching your private data.
