Gorgon Scout MCP server

Run AI-driven web-application and API security scans from Claude, or any MCP agent.

Gorgon Scout is a Windows application security scanner (DAST). This is its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which lets your AI assistant drive the whole workflow in plain language: ask it to scan a web app or API you are authorised to test, and it records the target, runs the scan, streams progress and findings, and produces a Word report with optional AI analysis.

Works with the free plan of Claude Desktop.

What it does

Point your assistant at a target and say "scan this." The connector exposes Scout as typed MCP tools, so the agent can:

create and manage target profiles
AI auto-record a site (a Chromium window crawls the app and collects the login)
import an OpenAPI / Postman / HAR spec for API testing
start a scan and poll progress and findings as structured results
run AI post-scan analysis for deeper, validated dives

Every scan still requires you to confirm the in-scope hostname. Your account credentials are never sent to the model.

Highlights

Nothing to configure. Capture happens at the network layer: no proxy, no PAC files, no per-browser certificate ritual.
Every HTTP version. Intercepts HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 (QUIC), which still defeats most interception proxies.
Signal over noise. Field-aware probes, gated by parameter type and authorisation tier. The probe library is cryptographically signed and refreshes daily against OWASP and CVE intelligence.

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11 (x64). This connector is Windows-only.
The Gorgon Scout desktop app installed. The installer registers this connector with Claude Desktop for you. Download: https://gorgoncyber.com/scout-download.html
A Gorgon Cyber account: free 30-day trial (up to 2 targets), then USD 20/month.

This is a proprietary connector to a commercial app. It is not a standalone open-source MCP server.

Install

Download and run the Gorgon Scout installer: https://gorgoncyber.com/scout-download.html Leave the Claude AI Integration connector enabled. It is registered automatically.
Launch Gorgon Scout once, sign in, and start your free trial.
Fully restart Claude Desktop so it loads the connector.
Ask Claude to scan a target you are authorised to test.

Advanced: the connector is also published as a .mcpb Desktop Extension you can add to Claude Desktop manually: https://storage.googleapis.com/gorgon-scout-downloads/gorgon-scout.mcpb (It still requires the Gorgon Scout app to be installed.)
