About Equixly MCP Server
Connect your Equixly account to any AI agent and take full control of your autonomous API security testing and vulnerability management through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Equixly data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Autonomous Pentest Orchestration — Launch new attack sessions where the Equixly AI Hacker autonomously explores and attacks your API for BOLA, IDOR, and injection flaws
- Service Management — Register and manage target API services by defining base URLs and granular path-scoping rules for continuous monitoring
- API Surface Discovery — Upload and manage API specifications (OpenAPI, GraphQL, Postman) to broaden the attack surface known to the AI Hacker
- Vulnerability Auditing — Retrieve detailed lists of confirmed exploitable security flaws with severity ratings, OWASP mapping, and remediation guidance
- Scan Status Monitoring — Track execution progress and overall outcomes of active penetration tests, including total requests and endpoints explored
- Remediation Oversight — Access evidence of exploitation for specific findings to validate security fixes and maintain production safety
- Target Configuration — Fetch granular metadata for API targets, including authentication hooks and production safety toggles natively
The Equixly MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot 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 VS Code Copilot with the Equixly MCP Server
GitHub Copilot for Visual Studio Code provides unique advantages when paired with Equixly through the Model Context Protocol.
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
Project-scoped MCP configs (`.vscode/mcp.json`) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services
Equixly + VS Code Copilot Use Cases
Practical scenarios where VS Code Copilot combined with the Equixly MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Live API integration: Copilot can query an MCP server, inspect the response schema, and generate typed API client code in the same step
DevSecOps workflows: security teams can give developers access to domain intelligence tools directly in their editor for real-time vulnerability assessment during code review
Data pipeline development: Copilot fetches sample data via MCP and generates transformation scripts, validators, and test fixtures from actual API responses
Documentation generation: Copilot queries available tools and auto-generates README sections, API reference docs, and usage examples
Equixly MCP Tools for VS Code Copilot (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Equixly to VS Code Copilot 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
Example Prompts for Equixly in VS Code Copilot
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your VS Code Copilot agent to start working with Equixly immediately.
"Trigger a security scan for API service 'Billing-v1'"
"Show me the critical findings from the latest scan of service 'Payments'"
"List all registered API target services"
