What is the Stackhawk MCP Server?

An MCP server that provides interaction with StackHawk's security scanning platform.

What it actually does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating with StackHawk's security scanning platform. Helps developers set up StackHawk, run security scans, and triage findings to fix vulnerabilities — all from within an LLM-powered IDE or chat.

  • Setup: — Detect your project, create a StackHawk application, and generate a ready-to-scan stackhawk.yml
  • Scan: — Run StackHawk scans directly from your IDE or chat (with install help if the CLI is missing)
  • Triage: — Get actionable findings at or above your failure threshold for remediation
  • Validate: — Check YAML configs against the official schema and validate field paths to prevent hallucination
  • Custom User-Agent: — All API calls include a versioned User-Agent header
