FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my scan schedules?

    No. The AI can only read site and scan data. You have to manually update schedules in Rapid7.

  • 02

    Can I delete a site through the chat?

    No. This MCP is read-only for site and scan management.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my vulnerability data?

    No. It only sees the site configurations and the scan metadata, not the individual vulnerability findings.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which site I'm talking about?

    It uses the site names or IDs you provide to call the specific tools needed to fetch that data.

  • 05

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.
