Claude Code registers StackHawk as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where StackHawk data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Automated Scanning — Programmatically initiate comprehensive security evaluations across your environments utilizing
run_scan, and halt operations securely targeting specific execution UUIDs viastop_scan. - Risk Assessment — Effectively audit environments by listing operational scans with
list_scans, or retrieve deep vulnerability reports invokingget_alertstargeting specific scan iterations. - Application Management — Catalog active software deployments monitored by StackHawk utilizing
list_applications, and manage organizational parameters inspecting environments directly vialist_environments. - Triage & Operations — Authenticate securely establishing a valid operational bearer token with
login, and instruct the AI to accurately qualify, dismiss, or assign statuses prioritizing critical mitigation efforts usingtriage_alert.
