Before you connect
Questions about Black Duck (Synopsys).
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP help with CVE tracking?
It lets your AI agent query your specific Black Duck instance to find vulnerabilities instantly. Instead of searching a dashboard, you can just ask your agent to list CVEs for a specific project or version.
Can I use the Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP to check license compliance?
Yes. You can use it to check the status of your Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure your software stays compliant with your organization's rules.
Who can use the Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP in their workflow?
It's designed for security engineers auditing risks, developers checking library safety, and compliance officers who need to pull status reports quickly.
Does the Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP support searching for specific projects?
Yes, it includes a capability to search your project inventory by name, which is helpful if you have a large number of projects to manage.
How do I get my project data into my AI agent using Black Duck (Synopsys)?
By connecting this Connector to your AI client, your agent gains the ability to read your project metadata, vulnerability lists, and policy rules directly.
Can the Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP show me who has access to my data?
Yes, it can list all users registered in your Black Duck instance, making it easier to audit and manage access controls.
Can I check for critical vulnerabilities in a specific project version?
Yes! Use the list_vulnerabilities capability with the Project and Version IDs. Your agent will fetch the list of components with known security flaws and their severity levels.
How do I know if my Black Duck scan is finished?
Simply ask the agent to get_bom_status for the specific project version. It will return the current calculation status, showing if the BOM is 'Up to date' or still processing.
What happens if I trigger API rate limits?
Black Duck limits connections to 100 requests per 10 seconds or 10,000 per 30 minutes. If you exceed this sustained load protection, you will temporarily receive a HTTP 429 error code restricting your IP for 15 minutes.
