Overview

What is NVD MCP Server?

The NVD MCP Server bridges conversational queries with the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), letting developers ask questions in plain English and get real-time vulnerability data directly inside AI-powered IDEs like Windsurf.

How to use NVD MCP Server?

Install dependencies (pip install mcp httpx python-dotenv), clone the repo, configure an NVD API key in keys.env, launch the server with python nvd_mcp.py --transport stdio, then connect an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop via claude_desktop_config.json). Query using natural language like "What's the scoop on CVE-2023-1234?".

Key features of NVD MCP Server

  • Severity filtering (e.g., list only critical vulnerabilities).

Use cases of NVD MCP Server

  • Look up details for a specific CVE by asking a natural‑language question.
  • Search for all vulnerabilities mentioning a particular technology or keyword.
  • Stay updated on newly reported CVEs from the last week.
  • Filter and prioritize the most urgent security risks by severity.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

Python 3.8 or higher is required, along with the packages `mcp`, `httpx`, and `python-dotenv`.

2

How do I obtain and configure an NVD API key?

Request a free API key from the NVD API Key Request page, then create a `keys.env` file in the project root containing `NVD_API_KEY=your_api_key_here`.

3

What transport mechanisms does the server support?

The default transport is `stdio` for local use. For networked setups, use `--transport http` (with proper HTTPS security).
