Implementation Reference

• main.py:54-60 (handler)

  The handler function for the 'vul_cve_search' tool. It accepts a CVE ID as input, constructs the appropriate API endpoint URI, and retrieves the CVE details using the shared get_requests helper function.

  @mcp.tool()
  def vul_cve_search(cve_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """
      To get a JSON of a specific CVE ID
      """
      uri = f"cve/{cve_id}"
      return get_requests(uri)

• main.py:15-26 (helper)

  Helper function that performs HTTP GET requests to the CVE search API (BASE_URL = https://cve.circl.lu/api/), handles errors, and returns JSON data. Used by vul_cve_search and other tools.

  def get_requests(uri: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """To get a JSON with all the requests"""
      session = requests.Session()
      url = f"{BASE_URL}{uri}"
      try:
          response = session.get(url, timeout=15)
          response.raise_for_status()
          return response.json()
      except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
          logger.error(f"api request failed: {url} - {str(e)}")
          return {"error": str(e)}
