Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent explain the vulnerabilities found in a 42Crunch audit?
Yes. After retrieving an audit report using your agent, you can ask the agent to act as a DevSecOps engineer. It can break down exactly why you received a low score, explain specific OWASP findings, and write the YAML or JSON patch needed to fix your OpenAPI spec instantly.
How do I test a new API update before merging?
Simply paste your updated OpenAPI definitions into your AI agent's chat context. Ask the agent to import the new API definition into a staging collection. The platform will automatically run a static security audit upon import, and your agent can report back the new security score before you hit merge.
What is the difference between static audits and dynamic conformance scans?
Audits strictly verify the design of your JSON/YAML contract against security best practices without making network calls. Scans, however, send live HTTP traffic against your implemented endpoint to make sure your back-end truly conforms to what you wrote. Your agent can retrieve both reports for side-by-side comparison.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
