Rapid7 InsightVM Vulnerability Management for AI Agents
With this Connector, that workflow disappears. You just ask your AI agent what's wrong with a specific server or which sites are missing scans. It pulls the data, summarizes the risks, and gives you the remediation steps in one place. You stop hunting for data and start fixing things.
What Vinkius changes
You get a direct line to your security data without leaving your workspace.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Rapid7 InsightVM.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How can the Rapid7 InsightVM MCP help my security team?
It lets your team query vulnerabilities and asset data using natural language. Instead of clicking through a complex dashboard, your team can just ask your AI for specific info like 'what's wrong with this server?'
Can I use the Rapid7 InsightVM MCP to start new scans?
Yes, you can tell your AI agent to trigger a new vulnerability scan on a specific site immediately. This is great for verifying that a patch you just deployed actually worked.
Does the Rapid7 InsightVM MCP work with my existing Nexpose data?
Yes, it connects directly to your Rapid7 InsightVM platform. It can read your existing asset lists, site configs, and scan histories.
Can the AI agent see which assets are on my network?
Yes, it can pull a full inventory of all discovered computing assets. It can even show you specific details like hardware info and operating system fingerprints.
Is it possible to get remediation steps for specific flaws?
Yes, you can ask the agent for details on a specific vulnerability. It will pull the full advisory and remediation guidelines directly from your Rapid7 environment.
How do I connect my Rapid7 InsightVM to my AI client?
You'll need to provide your Security Console URL and your Basic Auth credentials. Once that's set up, your agent can start querying your security data.
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.
