Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the NIST NVD MCP Server?
The NIST NVD MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to NIST NVD via 10 tools. Access authoritative vulnerability and product data via NIST NVD — track CVEs, CPEs, and security history directly from your AI agent. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (10)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate NIST NVD
Ask your AI agent "Get the details for CVE-2023-23397." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real NIST NVD data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

What the NIST NVD MCP Server unlocks
Connect to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) API through your AI agent and explore the world's most comprehensive archive of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and product data using natural conversation.
What you can do
- CVE Discovery — Search for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) by ID, keyword, or specific weakness (CWE).
- Product Security — Find all vulnerabilities associated with a specific product or version using its Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) string.
- Severity Analysis — Filter vulnerabilities based on their CVSS V3 severity level (Low to Critical) to prioritize risks.
- Temporal Tracking — Search for CVEs published or modified within specific date ranges to monitor recent threats.
- Product Dictionary — Query the official CPE dictionary by keyword or UUID to identify software and hardware products.
- Change History — Retrieve a detailed log of updates and modifications made to the vulnerability database.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. (Optional) Enter your NIST NVD API Key for higher rate limits
3. Start exploring vulnerability intelligence from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Security Researchers & Analysts — quickly retrieve CVE details or CVSS scores for risk assessment and mitigation.
- DevOps & IT Teams — monitor for new vulnerabilities affecting the specific products and versions in your stack.
- Compliance Officers — automate the gathering of vulnerability data for security audits and reporting.
Frequently asked questions about the NIST NVD MCP Server
Is an API Key mandatory?
No. The NVD API allows public access without a key. However, using a key increases your rate limit significantly (up to 50 requests per 30 seconds).
What is a CPE string?
CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) is a structured naming scheme for information technology systems, software, and packages (e.g., cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:exchange_server:2019).
How far back can I search for vulnerabilities?
The NVD contains vulnerabilities dating back to the late 1990s. You can search the entire database by ID or keyword.
