Equixly MCP Tools for Claude Desktop (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Equixly to Claude Desktop via MCP:
create_service
Provide the human-readable name and the live base URL. After creation, upload an API spec to maximize attack surface coverage. Register a new API target service for autonomous pentesting
delete_service
Use when decommissioning an API or cleaning up test environments. This action is irreversible. Remove an API service and all its scan history from Equixly
get_scan
Includes total requests made, endpoints explored, attack vectors attempted, severity breakdown of findings (critical/high/medium/low), and OWASP Top 10 mapping. Get detailed status and summary of a specific pentest scan
get_scan_findings
Each finding includes a severity rating, OWASP category, affected endpoint path, HTTP method, request/response evidence of exploitation, and actionable remediation guidance. Download all exploitable vulnerabilities found in a pentest scan
get_service
Required before modifying scan behavior. Get detailed configuration of a specific API service
list_api_specs
The AI Hacker uses these specs to understand the full attack surface, so keeping them updated maximizes vulnerability discovery coverage. List uploaded API specifications for a service
list_scans
Each scan entry includes its status (running, completed, failed), timestamps, and the total count of vulnerabilities detected in that session. List all pentest scan sessions for an API service
list_services
A Service represents a single API base URL that the autonomous AI pentester continuously attacks. Each service contains its unique ID, name, base URL, and the number of discovered endpoints. List all registered API services in Equixly
trigger_scan
It tests for BOLA, broken authentication, mass assignment, IDOR, injection, and business logic flaws. Ideal for CI/CD pipeline integration upon each deployment. Launch a new autonomous AI penetration test against a service
upload_api_spec
Supported formats: openapi (JSON/YAML), postman, graphql, wsdl, har. Pass the raw spec content as a string along with the format identifier. Upload an API specification (OpenAPI, Postman, etc.) to a service
