What is the Checkmarx MCP Server?
Connect your Checkmarx One enterprise environment to any AI agent and take programmatic control over your Application Security posture. Analyze deep code flaws through natural chat instead of navigating complex cyber dashboards.
What you can do
- Projects & Applications — Inventory your codebase containers, inspect active project linkages, and prepare specific branches for security scanning
- Scans Lifecycle — Trigger dynamic SAST/SCA security scans on repos, cancel redundant queues, and poll engines for precise execution timing
- Vulnerability Triage — Extract core datasets of severe vulnerabilities, mapping exact lines of code where the flawed logic resides
- Best Fix Location (BFL) — Ask the agent to calculate the exact optimal spot in your execution path to apply a patch that resolves the flaw entirely
- KICS (IaC) — Read specialized Infrastructure as Code metrics isolating misconfigurations exclusively in Terraform, Dockerfiles, or Kubernetes YAML
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Checkmarx One JWT Token
- Uncover code vulnerabilities natively inside Claude, Cursor, or any compatible MCP agent
Who is this for?
- Security Engineers (AppSec) — seamlessly orchestrate vulnerability triage without toggling away from your primary workstation or ticket tracker
- DevOps & Platform Teams — investigate misconfigured KICS results in staging branches actively through the agent before deploying
- Developers — grab the exact Best Fix Location (BFL) for a zero-day issue and ask the LLM to rewrite the sanitization logic instantly
Built-in capabilities (10)
Prevents unnecessary engine resource consumption and drops the scanning context if the developer pushed a new commit overlapping the running job. Cancel an actively running Checkmarx scan
Focuses solely on Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes YAML, and Dockerfile misconfigurations rather than typical application source code flaws. Get specialized Infrastructure as Code (KICS) findings
Essential for ensuring the correct branch and source control context is selected before triggering new scans. Get details for a specific Checkmarx project
It returns granular execution details including which scan engines (SAST, SCA, KICS) were fired, their individual execution timings, and any engine-specific failure reasons. Check the precise status and configuration of a Checkmarx scan
Each result includes the vulnerability severity, state (To Verify, Confirmed, Urgent), description, and the exact lines of code where the flaw was detected. Requires a completed scan ID. Download SAST and security vulnerability findings for a scan
An Application acts as an overarching container for multiple individual microservices or projects, providing aggregated risk reporting and security metric visibility across a logical product. List Checkmarx One Applications
Provide the scan ID and the specific query (rule) ID string. Get Best Fix Location (BFL) for a specific vulnerability node
A Project represents a specific codebase. Includes project metadata, IDs, and assigned application linkages. List all Checkmarx One Projects
Includes the scan ID, current status (Completed, Running, Failed, Canceled), branch targeted, and timestamps. Use the scan ID to fetch the actual vulnerability results. List all historical and active scans for a Checkmarx project
Extensively used in CI/CD integrations to assert security quality on PRs. Returns the ID of the newly queued scan. Trigger a new Checkmarx One code scan
Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Checkmarx becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Checkmarx tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
How can the AI help me fix a vulnerability faster?
Once an issue is identified via scan results, ask your agent to pull the 'Best Fix Location' (BFL) using the query ID. Checkmarx mathematically finds the common root code block, and your AI can instantly rewrite that exact block to sanitize the flaw. You save hours tracing code paths.
Can the agent initiate a static code scan independently?
Yes! Tell the agent to 'Run a scan on project ID X targeting the main branch'. It initiates the analysis array natively across Checkmarx One engines. You can poll for completion status later and retrieve the new dataset directly via chat.
Does it segregate AppSec results from Cloud infrastructure flaws?
It does. Application flaws are pulled cleanly via get_scan_results, whereas misconfigurations tied to Docker, Kubernetes, or Terraform limits use a dedicated get_kics_results pipeline. The agent intrinsically separates the context for your DevOps team.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
