About Checkmarx MCP Server
Connect your Checkmarx One enterprise environment to any AI agent and take programmatic control over your Application Security posture. Analyze deep code flaws through natural chat instead of navigating complex cyber dashboards.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Checkmarx tools. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and assign role-based access — a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Projects & Applications — Inventory your codebase containers, inspect active project linkages, and prepare specific branches for security scanning
- Scans Lifecycle — Trigger dynamic SAST/SCA security scans on repos, cancel redundant queues, and poll engines for precise execution timing
- Vulnerability Triage — Extract core datasets of severe vulnerabilities, mapping exact lines of code where the flawed logic resides
- Best Fix Location (BFL) — Ask the agent to calculate the exact optimal spot in your execution path to apply a patch that resolves the flaw entirely
- KICS (IaC) — Read specialized Infrastructure as Code metrics isolating misconfigurations exclusively in Terraform, Dockerfiles, or Kubernetes YAML
The Checkmarx MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use AutoGen with the Checkmarx MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with Checkmarx through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Checkmarx tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign Checkmarx tool access to specific agents — a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Checkmarx tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Checkmarx tool responses in an isolated environment
Checkmarx + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the Checkmarx MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries Checkmarx while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from Checkmarx, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using Checkmarx data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process Checkmarx responses in a sandboxed execution environment
Checkmarx MCP Tools for AutoGen (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Checkmarx to AutoGen via MCP:
cancel_scan
Prevents unnecessary engine resource consumption and drops the scanning context if the developer pushed a new commit overlapping the running job. Cancel an actively running Checkmarx scan
get_kics_results
Focuses solely on Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes YAML, and Dockerfile misconfigurations rather than typical application source code flaws. Get specialized Infrastructure as Code (KICS) findings
get_project
Essential for ensuring the correct branch and source control context is selected before triggering new scans. Get details for a specific Checkmarx project
get_scan_details
It returns granular execution details including which scan engines (SAST, SCA, KICS) were fired, their individual execution timings, and any engine-specific failure reasons. Check the precise status and configuration of a Checkmarx scan
get_scan_results
Each result includes the vulnerability severity, state (To Verify, Confirmed, Urgent), description, and the exact lines of code where the flaw was detected. Requires a completed scan ID. Download SAST and security vulnerability findings for a scan
list_applications
An Application acts as an overarching container for multiple individual microservices or projects, providing aggregated risk reporting and security metric visibility across a logical product. List Checkmarx One Applications
list_bfl
Provide the scan ID and the specific query (rule) ID string. Get Best Fix Location (BFL) for a specific vulnerability node
list_projects
A Project represents a specific codebase. Includes project metadata, IDs, and assigned application linkages. List all Checkmarx One Projects
list_scans
Includes the scan ID, current status (Completed, Running, Failed, Canceled), branch targeted, and timestamps. Use the scan ID to fetch the actual vulnerability results. List all historical and active scans for a Checkmarx project
run_scan
Extensively used in CI/CD integrations to assert security quality on PRs. Returns the ID of the newly queued scan. Trigger a new Checkmarx One code scan
Example Prompts for Checkmarx in AutoGen
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your AutoGen agent to start working with Checkmarx immediately.
"List the most severe vulnerabilities found in the last Checkmarx scan."
"Trigger a new SAST scan for my current Checkmarx project."
"How do I fix the SQL injection vulnerability found in the Checkmarx report?"
