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.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 10 tools from Checkmarx through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns — chain multiple agents where one queries Checkmarx, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through the Vinkius.
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 OpenAI Agents SDK 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 OpenAI Agents SDK with the Checkmarx MCP Server
OpenAI Agents SDK provides unique advantages when paired with Checkmarx through the Model Context Protocol.
Native MCP integration via `MCPServerSse` — pass the URL and the SDK auto-discovers all tools with full type safety
Built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns let you build production-grade agents without reinventing safety infrastructure
Lightweight and composable: chain multiple agents and MCP servers in a single pipeline with minimal boilerplate
First-party OpenAI support ensures optimal compatibility with GPT models for tool calling and structured output
Checkmarx + OpenAI Agents SDK Use Cases
Practical scenarios where OpenAI Agents SDK combined with the Checkmarx MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated workflows: build agents that query Checkmarx, process the data, and trigger follow-up actions autonomously
Multi-agent orchestration: create specialist agents — one queries Checkmarx, another analyzes results, a third generates reports
Data enrichment pipelines: stream data through Checkmarx tools and transform it with OpenAI models in a single async loop
Customer support bots: agents query Checkmarx to resolve tickets, look up records, and update statuses without human intervention
Checkmarx MCP Tools for OpenAI Agents SDK (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Checkmarx to OpenAI Agents SDK 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 OpenAI Agents SDK
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your OpenAI Agents SDK 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?"
