70 Trust /100
Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Endpoint Security66
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 7 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
  • HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
  • The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
  • DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability86
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 8210 tokens (~122/item across 67 items; 7 tools + 60 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
  • Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

Install

How do I install the io.github.cyanheads/cisa-cybersecurity-mcp-server server?

io.github.cyanheads/cisa-cybersecurity-mcp-server is a hosted endpoint at https://cisa-cybersecurity.caseyjhand.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~2,208 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
cisa_check_cve_status ~230

Check CVE IDs against the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog — up to 200 per call, served from a cached catalog snapshot at no upstream cost. Returns, per CVE, whether it is in KEV and if so the date added, the federal remediation due date, days remaining or days overdue, which binding operational directive the entry cites, the required action text, whether it is linked to ransomware campaigns, whether it falls in the three-day forensic-triage tier, CISA's own vendor and product labels, associated CWEs, and the reference URLs parsed from the entry's notes. A CVE that is not in KEV is a normal result, not an error. The CWE IDs returned chain directly into cisa_search_kev's CWE filter, and the parsed NVD reference gives the canonical record for scoring detail.

NameTypeReqDescription
cveIdsarrayyesCVE identifiers to check, up to 200 per call. The whole batch costs zero upstream requests, so a full CVE alias list from a dependency audit can be checked in one call.
NameTypeReqDescription
asOfstringThe UTC date daysUntilDue and overdue were computed against, YYYY-MM-DD.
catalogobjectWhich catalog snapshot answered this call.
errorobjectPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
foundCountintegerHow many of the requested CVEs are in the catalog.
notFoundCountintegerHow many of the requested CVEs are not in the catalog.
noticestringGuidance when none of the supplied CVE IDs are in the catalog.
resultsarrayOne result per requested CVE, in the order supplied.

No examples provided.

cisa_get_advisory ~216

Read one CISA industrial control system advisory in full: affected products flattened from the CSAF product tree into vendor, product, and version ranges; per-CVE CVSS score, vector, and CWE; remediations with their category and vendor instructions; critical-infrastructure sectors; and the revision history. Large advisories return a section outline instead of the whole document — re-call with the sections you need. Republished vendor advisories carry the originating vendor's text; every response reports the source URL and attribution. Find advisory IDs with cisa_search_ics_advisories.

NameTypeReqDescription
advisoryIdstringyesAdvisory identifier, e.g. ICSA-26-260-07 or ICSMA-26-253-02. Case-insensitive; an optional revision suffix is a single letter a-f or a numeric -N. A trailing .json is stripped.
sectionsarraySections to return. Omit for the whole document, or for its outline when the document overflows the inline budget.
NameTypeReqDescription
acknowledgmentsarrayAcknowledgment entries.
advisoryobjectAdvisory identity, dates, and attribution. Always kept, including on a section selection.
errorobjectPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
foundbooleanWhether an advisory with that ID is in the index.
guidancestringWhat to do instead, present when found is false.
kindstringfull when the document is returned; outline when only the section listing is.
outlineNoticestringOutline arm — how to call cisa_get_advisory for specific sections.
productsobjectAffected products and version ranges.
referencesarrayDocument-level references.
revisionHistoryarrayRevision history, oldest first as published.
sectionsarrayOutline arm — the sections available, largest first, with their byte sizes.
summaryobjectNarrative notes and sector classification.
vulnerabilitiesarrayVulnerabilities the advisory covers, with scores, remediations, and product status.

No examples provided.

cisa_get_alerts ~212

List what CISA has published recently — its combined advisory feed, its alerts feed, or its ICS advisory feed. Each feed is a rolling window of exactly 30 items with no history, no pagination, and no date-range query, so the window's coverage varies from about a week to about two months depending on the feed. For ICS advisory history beyond the window, use cisa_search_ics_advisories, which covers the full corpus back to 2010.

NameTypeReqDescription
feedstringWhich feed to read: advisories (all.xml, ~8 days of coverage), alerts (alerts.xml, ~8 weeks), or ics (ics-advisories.xml, ~2.5 weeks).
limitintegerMaximum items to return. The 30 ceiling is the upstream window, not a server choice.
sincestringKeep only items published on or after this date, YYYY-MM-DD. Filters within the fetched window; it cannot reach back beyond it.
NameTypeReqDescription
capintegerThe limit that was applied.
effectiveQuerystringThe since filter as applied, and how many window items it excluded.
errorobjectPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
feedstringThe feed that was read.
feedTitlestringThe channel title the feed declares.
feedUrlstringThe absolute feed URL this window came from.
itemsarrayItems from the current window, newest first as published.
noticestringGuidance when the since filter excluded every item.
shownintegerItems returned.
truncatedbooleanTrue when the limit capped the returned items.
windowobjectWhat the fetched window covers.
windowCaveatstringThat the feed has no history, no pagination, and no date query.

No examples provided.

cisa_get_ssvc ~275

Fetch the SSVC decision points CISA publishes per CVE as a CVE Authorized Data Publisher — Exploitation, Automatable, and Technical Impact — along with the CVSS score and CWE CISA contributes where present, and compute the BOD 26-04 remediation timeline those values imply for the asset exposure you supply. The computed timeline applies CISA's published decision table to CISA's published decision points and your stated exposure; it is not a compliance determination and it is not CISA's own due-date assignment, which is reported separately when the CVE is in KEV and can differ. Not every CVE is enriched — a miss returns found false with guidance rather than an error. Call cisa_list_reference with topic ssvc_values for the decision-point vocabulary.

NameTypeReqDescription
assetExposurestringWhether the affected asset is reachable by unauthenticated or untrusted entities over public networks. The one BOD 26-04 decision point CISA cannot publish. "unknown" returns both arms so the spread…
cveIdsarrayyesCVE identifiers to look up, up to 50 per call — lower than cisa_check_cve_status's 200-CVE cap because each CVE needs its own live enrichment lookup rather than a cached batch check.
NameTypeReqDescription
echoobjectThe request as the server parsed it.
errorobjectPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
foundCountintegerHow many CVEs carry published SSVC decision points.
notFoundCountintegerHow many CVEs do not.
noticestringGuidance when nothing was enriched, or when a decision timestamp predates KEV.
resultsarrayOne result per requested CVE, in the order supplied.

No examples provided.

cisa_list_reference ~176

Decode the vocabulary the other CISA tools take as input. Topics cover the BOD 26-04 remediation timeline table and what each tier means, the KEV record fields and their value domains, the SSVC decision points CISA publishes, the critical-infrastructure sector names as the advisory corpus spells them, advisory ID formats, CVSS severity bands, and the freshness of the data this server currently holds. Call this before constructing filters for cisa_search_kev or cisa_search_ics_advisories, and whenever another tool's recovery hint points here.

NameTypeReqDescription
topicstringyesWhich reference block to return: directives (BOD 26-04 Table 1 and its definitions), kev_fields, ssvc_values, sectors, advisory_id_formats, severity_bands, or sources (what this server currently hold…
NameTypeReqDescription
definitionsarrayTopic directives only — supporting definitions from the directive text.
entriesarrayThe decoded terms for this topic.
errorobjectPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
sourcesobjectTopic sources only — what this server currently holds, read from in-process state.
summarystringWhat this topic covers and when to reach for it.
supersedesarrayTopic directives only — the directives BOD 26-04 supersedes and revokes.
timelineTablearrayTopic directives only — all sixteen rows of BOD 26-04 Appendix A, Table 1.
titlestringHuman-readable title for the topic.
topicstringThe topic that was decoded.

No examples provided.

cisa_search_ics_advisories ~578

Search the CISA industrial control system advisory corpus — 3,926 CSAF 2.0 documents covering PLC, HMI, SCADA, building-automation, and medical-device products from 2010 onward. Filter by vendor, product, CVE, CVSS range, severity band, critical-infrastructure sector, advisory series, publication date, or revision date, and run full-text search over advisory titles and product names. Sector filtering reaches only advisories that carry a sector note, which begins in 2017; the response reports how many documents a sector filter can never match. Returns advisory IDs for cisa_get_advisory, the CVEs each advisory covers, and the source URL and attribution every advisory response carries.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringOpaque pagination cursor from a previous call. Omit for the first page.
cvestringExact CVE membership. The corpus covers 12,321 distinct CVEs.
cvssMaxnumberMaximum value of the advisory's maximum CVSS base score, inclusive.
cvssMinnumberMinimum value of the advisory's maximum CVSS base score, inclusive.
limitintegerMaximum advisories per page.
orderstringSort direction. Under relevance, desc means most relevant first.
productstringCase-insensitive substring of a product name.
publishedFromstringEarliest initial release date, inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD.
publishedTostringLatest initial release date, inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD.
publisherstringcoordinator selects CISA-authored advisories (2,863); other selects republished vendor advisories (1,063).
qstringFull-text search over advisory titles, vendor names, and product names. Tokens are AND-combined; FTS5 operators in the input are neutralized rather than honored.
revisedFromstringEarliest current release date, inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD.
revisedTostringLatest current release date, inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD.
sectorstringCritical-infrastructure sector, matched against the normalized sector set. Multiple is the sentinel the corpus uses for an advisory affecting many sectors.
seriesstringAdvisory series: ICSA (3,738 documents) or ICSMA medical devices (188).
severitystringSeverity band of the advisory's maximum CVSS score.
sortBystringField to sort by. relevance requires q and ranks by FTS5 bm25.
vendorstringCase-insensitive substring of a vendor label. Vendor names are unnormalized upstream — the same company appears under several spellings — so this is substring, not exact.
NameTypeReqDescription
appliedFiltersobjectThe filters the server actually applied.
capintegerThe page limit that was applied.
cursorstringOpaque cursor for the next page. Absent when this is the last page.
cvssCoveragestringDisclosure of derived-band and no-score coverage under a score filter.

truncatedbooleanTrue when the page limit capped this result.

No examples provided.

cisa_search_kev ~521

Search the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog across every entry in the cached snapshot. Filter by vendor or product using CISA's own labels, by name substring, by CWE, by the date an entry was added, by due date, by overdue status, by ransomware linkage, by the three-day forensic-triage tier, or by which binding operational directive the entry cites. Results are paged and sortable by due date or date added. Vendor and product values are CISA's free-text labels, not CPE names — call cisa_list_reference for the field vocabulary before guessing one. The catalog records additions but carries no per-record modified timestamp, so dateAddedFrom answers "what is new since D" while a revised due date on an existing entry is not detectable from the feed.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringOpaque pagination cursor from a previous call. Omit for the first page.
cveIdPrefixstringYear scope for the CVE ID, e.g. CVE-2026.
cwestringExact CWE identifier, e.g. CWE-362. Excludes the 175 entries with no CWEs.
dateAddedFromstringEarliest date added, inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD.
dateAddedTostringLatest date added, inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD.
directivestringWhich directive the entry cites. "none" selects the 1,277 entries citing neither.
dueAfterstringEarliest due date, inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD.
