Frequently asked questions
Can I check for critical vulnerabilities in a specific project version?
Yes! Use the list_vulnerabilities tool with the Project and Version IDs. Your agent will fetch the list of components with known security flaws and their severity levels.
How do I know if my Black Duck scan is finished?
Simply ask the agent to get_bom_status for the specific project version. It will return the current calculation status, showing if the BOM is 'Up to date' or still processing.
What happens if I trigger API rate limits?
Black Duck limits connections to 100 requests per 10 seconds or 10,000 per 30 minutes. If you exceed this sustained load protection, you will temporarily receive a HTTP 429 error code restricting your IP for 15 minutes.
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.
