What is the StackHawk MCP Server?
Integrate the robust dynamic application security testing (DAST) capabilities of StackHawk directly into your conversational AI. Empower your engineering team to monitor system vulnerabilities, initiate complex scans, and orchestrate proactive security protocols without relying heavily on static dashboards. Connect securely to your workspaces, instruct your AI to assess ongoing security threats, and automatically classify alerts through a natural language interface designed to accelerate risk remediation across modern CI/CD pipelines.
What you can do
- Automated Scanning — Programmatically initiate comprehensive security evaluations across your environments utilizing
run_scan, and halt operations securely targeting specific execution UUIDs viastop_scan. - Risk Assessment — Effectively audit environments by listing operational scans with
list_scans, or retrieve deep vulnerability reports invokingget_alertstargeting specific scan iterations. - Application Management — Catalog active software deployments monitored by StackHawk utilizing
list_applications, and manage organizational parameters inspecting environments directly vialist_environments. - Triage & Operations — Authenticate securely establishing a valid operational bearer token with
login, and instruct the AI to accurately qualify, dismiss, or assign statuses prioritizing critical mitigation efforts usingtriage_alert.
How it works
- Install the StackHawk MCP module configuring it directly with your active AI assistant.
- Supply your proprietary StackHawk API Token to authenticate requests safely within the MCP setting.
- Instruct the AI: "Retrieve the most critical security alerts from the last scan of our 'Production-Core' application, and triage any false positives."
Who is this for?
- DevSecOps Engineers — Streamline and enforce secure software integration effortlessly instructing the system to perform real-time verification analysis dynamically.
- Engineering Leaders — Monitor organizational compliance metrics easily interacting through language commands retrieving holistic cross-application threat landscapes.
- Backend Developers — Quickly identify security regression issues caused by newly deployed microservices parsing scans directly in the development terminal.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns StackHawk into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from StackHawk 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
Are scans executed locally or in the cloud?
Scans run on the StackHawk cloud infrastructure. The MCP integration only triggers and monitors them — no heavy processing happens in your AI context.
Why is the `login` step required?
The StackHawk API uses short-lived Bearer tokens. The login tool exchanges your API key for a session token that authenticates all subsequent requests.
Can the agent triage alerts automatically?
Yes. Use triage_alert to mark specific vulnerabilities as false positives, accepted risks, or confirmed issues. Each triage action targets a single alert by ID.
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.
