What is the 42Crunch MCP Server?
Connect your 42Crunch account to any AI agent to continuously test, audit, and secure your API lifecycle through natural conversation. Say goodbye to manual spec uploads and cumbersome dashboard navigations.
What you can do
- API Collections — List and view your organizational API collections, evaluating their aggregated security scores
- API Management — Import OpenAPI/Swagger definitions directly into collections, list imported definitions, or delete them when decommissioned
- Static Security Audits — Trigger fresh static security audits over your OpenAPI specifications and retrieve comprehensive audit reports scoring design risks
- Dynamic Conformance Scans — List historical scans and retrieve detailed execution reports highlighting undocumented behavior or implementation flaws
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your 42Crunch API Token
- Start managing your API security governance from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevSecOps Engineers — integrate security audits seamlessly and ask for immediate remediation steps for OWASP vulnerabilities
- Platform Teams — govern your microservices ecosystem, track security hygiene across collections, and spot uncompliant endpoints
- Backend Developers — quickly import a new spec iteration, trigger a scan, and compare the security grade evolution without context switching

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns 42Crunch into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from 42Crunch and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent explain the vulnerabilities found in a 42Crunch audit?
Yes. After retrieving an audit report using your agent, you can ask the agent to act as a DevSecOps engineer. It can break down exactly why you received a low score, explain specific OWASP findings, and write the YAML or JSON patch needed to fix your OpenAPI spec instantly.
How do I test a new API update before merging?
Simply paste your updated OpenAPI definitions into your AI agent's chat context. Ask the agent to import the new API definition into a staging collection. The platform will automatically run a static security audit upon import, and your agent can report back the new security score before you hit merge.
What is the difference between static audits and dynamic conformance scans?
Audits strictly verify the design of your JSON/YAML contract against security best practices without making network calls. Scans, however, send live HTTP traffic against your implemented endpoint to make sure your back-end truly conforms to what you wrote. Your agent can retrieve both reports for side-by-side comparison.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
