How to Use the Acunetix 360 MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Acunetix 360 work with Windsurf to run scans?

Cascade uses this MCP Server to trigger scans via launchscan whenever you ask it to check a target. The agent handles the API calls behind the scenes and reports the status directly in your chat.

Q: Can Cascade fix issues found by Acunetix 360 in Windsurf?

Yes, that is the main benefit of this setup. Cascade calls listvulnerabilities to get the details of the bugs, then automatically edits your local code to patch the security holes.

Q: How do I configure the Acunetix 360 integration in Windsurf?

Open /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json and add the MCP Server configuration under the mcpServers key. You can also use the Windsurf UI under Settings to add the connection URL.

Perplexity

Chain security audits natively inside Windsurf

Cascade doesn't wait for you to prompt every step when a new deployment goes live. It uses `launch_scan` to spin up an automated vulnerability check, then monitors the progress without you babysitting the terminal. Once the scan finishes, the agent pulls the results and shows you exactly what failed. You get immediate feedback on your code changes without leaving your editor.

Let this MCP Server find and fix vulnerabilities

Stop manually digging through security dashboards. Cascade calls `list_vulnerabilities` to pull active security bugs directly into your workspace, matching them against your open files. The agent reads the exact issue details, locates the vulnerable line in your codebase, and writes the fix. It is a closed-loop security workflow that actually works.

Track your security posture over time

Keep tabs on all your active and historical scan runs using `list_scans`. Cascade pulls the run history to map out if your security posture is improving or getting worse. You don't have to jump to a web browser to check if a scan is still running. The information sits right inside your Windsurf panel, ready for Cascade to analyze and report back.
