About HCL AppScan MCP Server
The HCL AppScan MCP Server brings powerful application security testing capabilities directly to your AI agent. Seamlessly manage your security posture by monitoring vulnerabilities, tracking scan progress, and auditing your application inventory across HCL AppScan on Cloud (ASoC).
Google ADK natively supports HCL AppScan as an MCP tool provider — declare the Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 10 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.
Key Features
- Inventory Management — List and search for applications in your security inventory to find their unique IDs.
- Vulnerability Tracking — Retrieve detailed lists of security issues found during scans, including severity and status.
- Scan Oversight — Monitor all performed scans and check the real-time status of active security tests.
- Dynamic Analysis (DAST) — Start new DAST scans for your web applications directly from your chat interface.
- Agent & Presence Monitoring — List available Presences (local agents) used for scanning internal applications.
- Real-time Insights — Get instant summaries of your security findings and prioritize remediation efforts.
The HCL AppScan MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK 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 Google ADK with the HCL AppScan MCP Server
Google ADK provides unique advantages when paired with HCL AppScan through the Model Context Protocol.
Google ADK natively supports MCP tool servers — declare a tool provider and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution
Built on Gemini models, ADK provides long-context reasoning ideal for complex multi-tool workflows with HCL AppScan
Production-ready features like session management, evaluation, and deployment come built-in — not bolted on
Seamless integration with Google Cloud services means you can combine HCL AppScan tools with BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Functions
HCL AppScan + Google ADK Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Google ADK combined with the HCL AppScan MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Enterprise data agents: ADK agents query HCL AppScan and cross-reference results with internal databases for comprehensive analysis
Multi-modal workflows: combine HCL AppScan tool responses with Gemini's vision and language capabilities in a single agent
Automated compliance checks: schedule ADK agents to query HCL AppScan regularly and flag policy violations or configuration drift
Internal tool platforms: build self-service agent platforms where teams connect their own MCP servers including HCL AppScan
