How do I configure my credentials for Rapid7?

The integration uses Basic Authentication interacting with the Rapid7 Console API. You must configure the `RAPID7_HOST` (IP or FQDN), `RAPID7_PORT` (usually 3780), along with a dedicated `RAPID7_USER` and `RAPID7_PASSWORD`. We strongly recommend generating a specific service account in your console with restricted scan permissions.

Is the scanning triggered individually per asset?

By default, the `trigger_scan` mechanism relies on referencing a defined `site_id`, scanning the preconfigured scope attached to it rather than blindly scanning one unassociated IP.

Does it report CVSS scores?

Yes, depending on the response data provided by your installed version of the InsightVM console. Using `get_vulnerability` or checking asset lists brings standard threat metadata and corresponding CVSS vectors directly into your AI interface context.

About Rapid7 InsightVM MCP Server

Connect your Rapid7 InsightVM (formerly Nexpose) platform directly to your AI agent. By granting this access, your AI becomes a highly interactive cybersecurity assistant, allowing engineers and security analysts to query vulnerabilities, review asset health, and start scans right from their workspace or IDE.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Rapid7 InsightVM tools. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Asset Querying — Retrieve comprehensive inventory lists to discover all tracked computing assets and read their operating system fingerprints and hardware information.
Vulnerability Checks — Scan specific assets to instantly read CVE numbers mapped against them, alongside full vulnerability advisories and remediation guidelines.
Scan Operations — Read chronologically maintained assessment scans and track their execution status without jumping between consoles.
Site Management — Explore configured network sites, observing their designated scanning scopes and reviewing overall health risks.
Trigger Scanning — Force an immediate re-evaluation scan on a specified site after applying a patch, validating your resolution securely.

The Rapid7 InsightVM MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Rapid7 InsightVM + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Rapid7 InsightVM MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Rapid7 InsightVM tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
