What is the NIST NVD MCP Server?
Connect to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) API through your AI agent and explore the world's most comprehensive archive of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and product data using natural conversation.
What you can do
- CVE Discovery — Search for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) by ID, keyword, or specific weakness (CWE).
- Product Security — Find all vulnerabilities associated with a specific product or version using its Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) string.
- Severity Analysis — Filter vulnerabilities based on their CVSS V3 severity level (Low to Critical) to prioritize risks.
- Temporal Tracking — Search for CVEs published or modified within specific date ranges to monitor recent threats.
- Product Dictionary — Query the official CPE dictionary by keyword or UUID to identify software and hardware products.
- Change History — Retrieve a detailed log of updates and modifications made to the vulnerability database.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Enter your NIST NVD API Key for higher rate limits
- Start exploring vulnerability intelligence from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Security Researchers & Analysts — quickly retrieve CVE details or CVSS scores for risk assessment and mitigation.
- DevOps & IT Teams — monitor for new vulnerabilities affecting the specific products and versions in your stack.
- Compliance Officers — automate the gathering of vulnerability data for security audits and reporting.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API Key mandatory?
No. The NVD API allows public access without a key. However, using a key increases your rate limit significantly (up to 50 requests per 30 seconds).
What is a CPE string?
CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) is a structured naming scheme for information technology systems, software, and packages (e.g., cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:exchange_server:2019).
How far back can I search for vulnerabilities?
The NVD contains vulnerabilities dating back to the late 1990s. You can search the entire database by ID or keyword.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
