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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple StackHawk tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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.
The StackHawk MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
