# Cybersecurity Vulnerability Intelligence MCP Server
Unified vulnerability intelligence from 4 government data sources in a single MCP server. Get enriched CVE lookups with CVSS scores, active exploitation status, exploitation probability, and ATT&CK techniques in one call.
| Source | What It Provides | Update Frequency |
|--------|-----------------|-----------------|
| **NIST NVD 2.0** | CVE details, CVSS scores, descriptions, references, CWE classifications | Continuous |
| **CISA KEV** | Actively exploited vulnerabilities catalog, remediation deadlines | Daily |
| **FIRST.org EPSS** | Exploitation probability scores (0-1) predicting likelihood of exploitation in next 30 days | Daily |
| **MITRE ATT&CK** | Adversary techniques mapped to CVEs | Quarterly |
## Tools
### `vuln_lookup_cve` — Enriched CVE Lookup
The killer feature. Look up any CVE and get intelligence from all 4 sources in a single call.
- **Input:** `{ cveId: "CVE-2021-44228" }`
- **Returns:** NVD details + CVSS score + KEV exploitation status + EPSS probability + ATT&CK techniques
### `vuln_search` — Search CVEs
Search the NVD by keyword, severity, and date range. Optionally filter to only actively exploited (KEV) vulnerabilities.
- **Input:** `{ keyword: "apache log4j", severity: "CRITICAL", hasKev: true, limit: 20 }`
### `vuln_kev_latest` — Recently Exploited Vulnerabilities
Get vulnerabilities recently added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- **Input:** `{ days: 7, limit: 20 }`
### `vuln_kev_due_soon` — Upcoming Remediation Deadlines
Get KEV entries with remediation deadlines approaching. Critical for federal compliance.
- **Input:** `{ days: 14, limit: 20 }`
### `vuln_epss_top` — Highest Exploitation Probability
Get CVEs most likely to be exploited in the next 30 days based on EPSS machine learning model.
- **Input:** `{ threshold: 0.7, limit: 20 }`
### `vuln_trending` — Newly Published Critical CVEs
Get recently published high/critical severity CVEs from the NVD.
- **Input:** `{ days: 3, severity: "CRITICAL", limit: 20 }`
### `vuln_by_vendor` — Vendor Vulnerability Assessment
Search CVEs for a specific vendor/product. Cross-references with CISA KEV to flag actively exploited issues.
- **Input:** `{ vendor: "microsoft", product: "windows", limit: 20 }`
## Use Cases
- **Vulnerability triage**: Look up a CVE and instantly know if it's actively exploited, its EPSS score, and what ATT&CK techniques apply
- **Patch prioritization**: Combine KEV status + EPSS scores to prioritize remediation
- **Compliance tracking**: Monitor upcoming CISA KEV remediation deadlines
- **Threat intelligence**: Track trending CVEs and newly weaponized vulnerabilities
- **Vendor risk assessment**: Assess a vendor's vulnerability exposure and active exploitation status

## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `NVD_API_KEY` | No | NVD API key for higher rate limits (50 req/30s vs 5 req/30s). [Register here](https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/request-an-api-key). |
## Caching
| Data Source | TTL | Notes |
|-------------|-----|-------|
| NVD CVE lookups | 1 hour | Per-CVE |
| CISA KEV catalog | 2 hours | Full catalog |
| EPSS scores | 24 hours | Per-CVE |
| ATT&CK mappings | Static | Bundled with server |
## Architecture
- **Protocol**: MCP over stdio (Glama/local) or Streamable HTTP (Apify)
- **Runtime**: Node.js 18+, TypeScript
- **Data**: Direct API calls to free government data sources, zero cost
- **Caching**: In-memory with configurable TTLs

Scored across 7 tools
Tools are mostly distinct, with slight overlap between vuln_kev_due_soon and vuln_kev_latest (both KEV-focused but different filters) and between vuln_trending and vuln_epss_top (different criteria for prioritizing CVEs). Descriptions clarify differences.
All tool names follow the pattern vuln_<descriptive_name>, using underscores and consistent noun/verb structure. No mixing of conventions.
7 tools cover the core vulnerability intelligence domain without being excessive. Each tool serves a clear purpose, and the count is well-scoped.
The surface covers search, lookup, trending, exploitation probability, and KEV monitoring comprehensively. Minor gaps exist, such as no tool for patch or fix version information, but overall the set is complete for its informational purpose.
