Manage Bugcrowd programs in Claude Desktop

Keep tabs on your security posture without leaving your chat. You can use `list_programs` to pull current active initiatives and `get_program` to see the specifics of any engagement. Everything stays inside your workspace. Use `get_organization_info` to verify you are working against the correct internal entity before diving into the data.

Monitor vulnerability submissions

Pull in raw data from your security team whenever you need it. The `list_submissions` tool gives you the full queue, while `get_submission` fetches the details for a single report. You avoid manual lookups by letting this MCP Server handle the heavy lifting. It connects the feedback loop directly to your current conversation.

Audit your attack surface

Map out your active assets to see what is currently in scope for testers. `list_targets` provides a breakdown of your endpoints, and `get_target` lets you drill down into specific infrastructure. Keep track of your active crowd engagements using `list_engagements`. It helps you see which programs are live and which have wrapped up.
