About StackHawk MCP Server
Integrate the robust dynamic application security testing (DAST) capabilities of StackHawk directly into your conversational AI. Empower your engineering team to monitor system vulnerabilities, initiate complex scans, and orchestrate proactive security protocols without relying heavily on static dashboards. Connect securely to your workspaces, instruct your AI to assess ongoing security threats, and automatically classify alerts through a natural language interface designed to accelerate risk remediation across modern CI/CD pipelines.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including StackHawk tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
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.
