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

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 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.
