Frequently asked questions
How do I check the security score of a specific vendor?
Use the get_vendor tool and provide the Vendor ID. Your agent will retrieve the complete security profile, including the overall score and metadata for that vendor.
Can I see all active risks across my entire account?
Yes! Use the list_account_risks query. This retrieves all active security risks detected across your own digital infrastructure (BreachSight).
Is it possible to monitor data breaches affecting our employees?
Absolutely. Use the list_identity_breaches query to retrieve data on identity breaches affecting your workforce, helping you take proactive security measures.
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.
