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.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Rapid7 InsightVM into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Rapid7 InsightVM 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
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.
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.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
