Audit live security issues inside Claude Desktop

The `list_issues` tool brings your active security vulnerabilities straight into your Claude Desktop chat. Your agent pulls severity levels and status details to prioritize what needs patching immediately. When you spot a critical vulnerability, use `get_issue` to grab remediation advice and affected targets. Claude Desktop formats this data into a clear action plan so you can fix the flaw before it gets exploited.

Monitor cloud targets and assets during chat

The `list_targets` tool exposes all active infrastructure and application assets to your Claude Desktop workspace. This lets you verify which servers are actively monitored without leaving your terminal or browser window. You can run `get_target` to fetch metadata and tags for specific assets to verify their security status. If you suspect an untracked server is exposed, use `list_cloud_integrations` to check how Claude Desktop discovers new targets across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

Track security scan history and status

The `list_scans` tool retrieves your historical and active vulnerability assessments directly inside Claude Desktop. You get exact timestamps and scan types to verify how frequently your infrastructure is being tested. Pass a scan ID to `get_scan` to dissect the duration and summary of findings. Claude Desktop uses this to help you audit the results of a specific run and verify your team's patching velocity.

Common questions about Intruder MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your `claude_desktop_config.json` file and add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` key. Restart the app, and you will see the security tools available via the hammer icon in your chat window.

No, this integration focuses on reporting and auditing. You use `list_scans` and `get_scan` to view and analyze completed or ongoing assessments, but you cannot initiate a new scan from the chat.

It only requires access to your personal API token to read vulnerability and target data. The integration operates in read-only mode for your infrastructure list, meaning it cannot modify your cloud configurations.

Use the `list_licences` tool to return your current subscription capacity and active license count. This lets you verify if you have room to add more targets before configuring new cloud integrations.

No, your vulnerability findings, target lists, and scan histories remain strictly between your Claude client and the official API. The local execution model ensures that no security posture metadata is cached or routed through middleman servers.
