Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Rapid7 InsightVM MCP Server?
Connect your Rapid7 InsightVM (formerly Nexpose) platform directly to your AI agent. By granting this access, your AI becomes a highly interactive cybersecurity assistant, allowing engineers and security analysts to query vulnerabilities, review asset health, and start scans right from their workspace or IDE.
What you can do
- Asset Querying — Retrieve comprehensive inventory lists to discover all tracked computing assets and read their operating system fingerprints and hardware information.
- Vulnerability Checks — Scan specific assets to instantly read CVE numbers mapped against them, alongside full vulnerability advisories and remediation guidelines.
- Scan Operations — Read chronologically maintained assessment scans and track their execution status without jumping between consoles.
- Site Management — Explore configured network sites, observing their designated scanning scopes and reviewing overall health risks.
- Trigger Scanning — Force an immediate re-evaluation scan on a specified site after applying a patch, validating your resolution securely.
How it works
- Authorize the server module inside your environment.
- Add the URL and port of your Rapid7 Security Console alongside a dedicated set of credentials (username and password) configured as Basic Authentication.
- Chat with your AI to start asking about the latest threats affecting your domain servers.
Who is this for?
- Cybersecurity Analysts (SOC) — Analyze identified security flaws and fetch CVE details and remediation instructions without leaving their incident response platform.
- DevOps & SysAdmins — Quickly order a vulnerability assessment on a subnet after applying OS updates to check if the threat is successfully patched.
- Network Engineers — Evaluate site configurations directly when provisioning new subnets to ensure full scanning scope coverage.

Frequently asked questions
How do I configure my credentials for Rapid7?
The integration uses Basic Authentication interacting with the Rapid7 Console API. You must configure the RAPID7_HOST (IP or FQDN), RAPID7_PORT (usually 3780), along with a dedicated RAPID7_USER and RAPID7_PASSWORD. We strongly recommend generating a specific service account in your console with restricted scan permissions.
Is the scanning triggered individually per asset?
By default, the trigger_scan mechanism relies on referencing a defined site_id, scanning the preconfigured scope attached to it rather than blindly scanning one unassociated IP.
Does it report CVSS scores?
Yes, depending on the response data provided by your installed version of the InsightVM console. Using get_vulnerability or checking asset lists brings standard threat metadata and corresponding CVSS vectors directly into your AI interface context.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
