Automate scan pipelines in Mastra AI

Chain `list_apps` and `start_dast_scan` into complex agent workflows. Your agents now handle the entire security lifecycle without manual intervention. Define clear failure conditions within your workflows. If a scan fails, the system automatically triggers a retry or notifies your team via internal channels.

Deep issue analysis with Mastra AI

Use `get_issue` to pull specific vulnerability details during a workflow execution. Your agents parse this data to categorize risks automatically. This turns raw findings into actionable tickets. You save hours of manual triage by letting the agent filter the noise from the signal.

Monitor scan status via Mastra AI

Track progress across your entire fleet using `list_scans`. Your agents keep a constant watch on the state of every security task. It keeps your pipeline moving. If a scan hangs, the agent identifies the bottleneck and provides the context needed to clear it.

Setup guide

Set up HCL AppScan MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All HCL AppScan tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "hcl-appscan-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "hcl-appscan-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "HCL AppScan Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to HCL AppScan tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent HCL AppScan transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about HCL AppScan MCP in Mastra AI

Add the server URL to your Mastra client configuration. The framework will automatically detect and register all available security tools.

You can enable tool approval in your agent settings. This forces the agent to ask for human consent before running `start_dast_scan`.

Use the built-in workflow retry logic. If a network blip occurs during a `list_issues` call, the system will automatically attempt to reconnect.

Vinkius handles the authentication layer for you. You only manage the endpoint token, keeping your credentials isolated from the agent code.

The server provides scan results, vulnerability descriptions, and application metadata. Sensitive source code is never exposed to the agent.
