What is the Tenable MCP Server?
Connect your Tenable (Tenable.io) environment to any AI agent and bring your enterprise vulnerability management directly into your IDE or chat via natural conversation.
What you can do
- Scans & Assessments — List configured vulnerability scans, retrieve detailed run analytics, and even manually trigger immediate evaluations
- Asset Intelligence — Browse your entire host and cloud inventory, retrieving deep telemetry like OS fingerprints, IPs, and tags
- Vulnerability Triage — Pinpoint explicit security findings (Workbench) and CVEs affecting specific assets without navigating complex dashboards
- Topology Oversight — See how your network spaces overlap and track organizational logical folders
- Scanner Health — Check the operational status and plugin health of your internal enterprise scanning fleet
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Tenable Access Key and Secret Key
- Start investigating your risk exposure rapidly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security Analysts — pull CVE details for a specific compromised server in a matter of seconds
- DevSecOps Engineers — manually trigger scans on newly deployed infrastructure zones right from their code editor
- IT Administrators — audit scanner health and check if host tags actually match the logical network topologies
Built-in capabilities (10)
Retrieves detailed metadata, networking, and risk profile for a specific asset
Retrieves explicit security findings (Workbench) for a specific asset
Retrieves runtime analytics and vulnerability summaries for a specific scan
Returns the newly created scan run ID. Manually triggers an immediate execution of a configured scan

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Tenable 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent trigger vulnerability scans directly?
Yes! You can ask your agent to list all mapped scan profiles. Once you copy the ID for something like 'External Perimeter Quick Scan', you can tell the agent to seamlessly launch that specific scan ID out of standard bounds.
How easy is it to investigate an alert about a single compromised asset?
Extremely fast. If an IP triggers an alert downstream, ask your agent to retrieve asset details tracking that IP, obtain its specific Asset ID, and immediately pull vulnerabilities. You will instantly get a markdown table of CVEs missing on the endpoint without complex GUI clicking.
Can the agent interact with scanner appliances (Nessus)?
Yes. It can fetch your entire scanner inventory across Tenable.io. This includes the internal Nessus agents linked to the account, their connection status, license states, and underlying software versions so you know if your fleet is healthy.
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 Tenable 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.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
