Hunt critical issues autonomously with Windsurf

This Contrast Security MCP Server connects your Windsurf workspace directly to your AppSec pipeline. Windsurf reads your local repository context and uses `list_critical_vulnerabilities` to find active security flaws that match your current files. Instead of jumping between browser tabs, Windsurf Cascade analyzes the output and immediately runs `get_vulnerability_details` to pinpoint the exact line of code causing the alert. You'll get a complete fix plan generated by your agent in seconds.

Map your monitored environment instantly

It's simple to find where your Contrast Security code runs with this MCP integration inside Windsurf. The agent runs `list_applications` to fetch the active software inventory and matches it against your local workspace configuration. Cascade then queries `list_monitored_servers` to identify which hosts run the Contrast agent. You see exactly which production environments are exposed to Windsurf without running manual grep commands.

Filter security alerts by severity

Filtering out noise is easy when you connect your Contrast Security tools to your Windsurf workspace. The agent uses `search_vulnerabilities` to isolate specific vulnerability traces based on your current development branch. Cascade drills down further by calling `get_application_details` to verify if the target Contrast Security service is actually active. You focus only on real, exploitable bugs that threaten your app.

Setup guide

Set up Contrast Security MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

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