Bright MCP Integration

Bright's Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration brings AI-powered application security testing directly into your development workflow. Your AI coding assistant can discover API endpoints, run security scans, and review vulnerabilities — all through natural language conversation.

Bright MCP is a remote, cloud-hosted MCP server. There is nothing to install locally — you simply point your MCP-compatible client at Bright's endpoint and authenticate with an API key.

Quick Start

1. Get a Bright API Key

Create a dedicated API key in your Bright account. This can be a personal, project, or organization-level key with the relevant scopes. See Personal API Key Scopes for details.

2. Configure Your Client

Add Bright as a remote MCP server in your IDE or tool of choice. The server URL is:

code

https://app.brightsec.com/mcp

Note: If your organization uses a dedicated Bright cluster, replace app.brightsec.com with your cluster's hostname.

See Client Configuration below for IDE-specific instructions.

3. Start Using It

Ask your AI assistant something like:

code

Scan https://my-app.example.com for security vulnerabilities

Your assistant will use the Bright MCP tools to list projects, discover entrypoints, run scans, and report findings.

Client Configuration

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add the following to your MCP configuration (via Command Palette → "MCP: Add Server" → Global, or manually edit your mcp.json):

json

{
  "servers": {
    "brightsec.com": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://app.brightsec.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Api-Key ${input:apiKey}"
      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "apiKey",
      "description": "Enter your Bright API Key",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

Then go to the Extensions tab, right-click the brightsec.com MCP server, and choose Start Server. You'll be prompted to enter your API key.

Augment Code

Open the Augment Code extension settings → Tools → MCP.
Click + Add remote MCP.
Fill in:
- Connection Type: HTTP
- Authentication Type: Header
- Name: BrightSec
- URL: https://app.brightsec.com/mcp
- Header Name: Authorization
- Header Value: Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY
Click Save.

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brightsec": {
      "url": "https://app.brightsec.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to your Windsurf MCP configuration (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brightsec": {
      "serverUrl": "https://app.brightsec.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Generic MCP Client

Any MCP-compatible client that supports remote HTTP/SSE servers can connect to Bright. Configure it with:

Setting	Value
Transport	SSE (Server-Sent Events) or HTTP
URL	`https://app.brightsec.com/mcp`
Auth Header	`Authorization: Api-Key YOUR_KEY`

Available Tools

Bright MCP exposes the following tools to your AI assistant:

Project Management

Tool	Description
listProjects	List all projects accessible to your API key. Use this to find project IDs needed for other operations.

Endpoint Discovery

Tool	Description
runDiscovery	Discover API endpoints using crawling (`crawlerUrls`) or API definitions (`fileId` from `uploadApiDefinition`). Before running, check if the project already has entrypoints with `listEntrypoints`. For private/local targets, specify a connected repeater via `repeaters`.
getDiscoveryStatus	Get the current status of a discovery run.
listDiscoveries	List discovery history for a project. View past discovery runs or monitor ongoing endpoint discovery.
uploadApiDefinition	Upload an API definition file (OpenAPI/Swagger) by URL or content. Returns a file ID to reference in discovery runs.

Entrypoint Management

Tool	Description
listEntrypoints	List discovered API endpoints/URLs for a project. Use this to select entrypoints for scans or evaluate attack surface coverage. Supports filtering by HTTP method, status, and text search.
getEntrypoint	Get detailed information about a specific entrypoint by ID, including headers, body, and configuration.
addEntrypoint	Add a new entrypoint to a project. Entrypoints define HTTP requests (method, URL, headers, body) that can be used for security scanning.
editEntrypoint	Update an existing entrypoint. Modify the HTTP request definition, authentication, or repeater settings.

Security Scanning

Tool	Description
runScan	Start a security scan against selected entrypoints. Supports targeting specific entrypoints by ID or by status (e.g., `new`, `changed`, `vulnerable`). Configure which tests to run or use a scan template. For private/local targets, specify a connected repeater.
getScanStatus	Get the current status of a running scan.
listScans	List scan history for a project. View past scan results or check the status of multiple ongoing scans.
listTests	List all available security tests (e.g., SQL injection, XSS, CSRF) that can be included in scans.

Vulnerability Management

Tool	Description
listIssues	List security vulnerabilities found for a project. Filter by severity (`Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Critical`), status (`new`, `recurring`, `resolved`, `ignored`), or entrypoint.

Authentication Configuration

Tool	Description
listAuths	List authentication configurations for a project. Use before scanning protected endpoints that require authentication.
getAuth	Get detailed information about a specific authentication configuration.
addAuth	Create a new authentication configuration. Supports multiple auth types: static headers, OAuth 2.0/OIDC, multi-step HTTP flows, NTLM, browser-based login, and recorded browser flows.
editAuth	Update an existing authentication configuration.

Private/Local Target Access

Tool	Description
createRepeater	Create a repeater for accessing private/local targets. After creation, run the Bright CLI to start the repeater and establish the connection.
listRepeaters	List repeaters and their connection status. Verify a repeater is connected before scanning non-public applications.

Usage Examples

Scan a Public Application

"Scan https://my-app.example.com for security vulnerabilities"

The assistant will:

List your projects to find the appropriate one
Get all discovered entrypoints for the project
Run a security scan against those entrypoints
Monitor the scan status and report findings

Discover Endpoints from an OpenAPI Spec

"Discover API endpoints from the OpenAPI spec at https://my-app.example.com/openapi.json"

The assistant will:

Upload the OpenAPI definition file
Run file-based discovery
Monitor the discovery status

Scan a Local/Private Application

"Scan my local application at http://localhost:3000"

The assistant will:

Check if Bright CLI is installed for repeater connectivity
List your projects to find the appropriate one
Create a repeater if needed
Run a security scan through the repeater
Monitor the scan status and report findings

Check for Critical Vulnerabilities

"Show me all critical and high severity issues in my project"

The assistant will:

List your projects
Query issues filtered by Critical and High severity
Present findings with details

Scan with Authentication

"Scan my API that requires Bearer token authentication"

The assistant will:

Create or find an existing auth configuration
Set up the proper headers/token flow
Run the scan with authentication applied

See the examples/ directory for more detailed workflow examples.

Your AI assistant connects to Bright's MCP endpoint over SSE/HTTP.
Bright's cloud platform receives tool calls and orchestrates security operations.
Scans run against your application — either directly (public targets) or through a Repeater (private/local targets).

Repeaters (Private/Local Targets)

To scan applications that aren't publicly accessible, Bright uses Repeaters — lightweight agents that route scan traffic from Bright's cloud through your local network.

Create a repeater via the MCP tool (createRepeater)

Start the repeater using the Bright CLI:

bash

bright-cli repeater \
  --id <REPEATER_ID> \
  --hostname app.brightsec.com \
  --token <YOUR_API_KEY>

Reference the repeater when running scans or discoveries

See the Bright CLI Installation Guide for setup instructions.
