Perplexity

Automate training plans inside Claude Desktop

`list_adaptive_training_plans` pulls targeted lessons for your engineers based on real vulnerabilities. Claude Desktop runs this locally to scan your workspace data, matches it against your team's weakness profile, and suggests exact courses. Your local MCP server reads the returned plans and helps you queue up the right modules for the right people in seconds. You do not need to log into a web dashboard to assign work anymore.

Track team security progress via MCP Server

`get_team_progress` fetches completion metrics for any specific group in your organization. The tool pulls raw numbers directly into your chat, showing you who finished their lessons and who is lagging behind. Combine this with `get_user_progress` on the MCP Server to drill down into individual metrics without leaving your workspace. Claude Desktop parses this progress data to highlight training bottlenecks.

Map vulnerabilities to training modules

`list_vulnerabilities` matches your active code issues to the HackEDU taxonomy of CWE, CVE, and CAPEC codes. The tool lets your agent analyze a security report and immediately find the exact lesson that addresses it. Once identified, use `create_issue` to push the vulnerability finding directly into the platform and auto-trigger adaptive training. This keeps your local development loop aligned with your security compliance requirements.
