Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_server/app.py:458-543 (handler)MCP tool handler for 'nuclei_scan'. This function defines the tool interface, collects parameters, sends them to the backend REST API endpoint '/api/nuclei' via BugBountyAPIClient, and returns the results with logging. This is the primary implementation of the MCP tool.
