# ๐ฅ Burp Suite MCP Analyzer
An **MCP (Model Context Protocol) server** that lets AI assistants analyze Burp Suite XML exports โ offline, no Burp running required.
Ask AI (or any MCP-compatible AI) to map endpoints, find secrets, detect vulnerabilities, analyze headers, export curl commands, and generate pentest reports โ all from a Burp XML export file.

## ๐ Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- Any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf)
- Burp Suite (any version โ just for exporting XML)
---
## ๐ Installation
**1. Clone the repo**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/burp-mcp-analyzer.git
cd burp-mcp-analyzer
```
**2. Install dependencies**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
**3. Configure your AI client** โ see [Configuration](#configuration) below
---
## ๐ค Exporting from Burp Suite
The server works with **Burp XML exports** (not raw `.burp` project files).
**Option A โ Proxy history only (quickest):**
```
Proxy tab โ HTTP History โ Ctrl+A (select all)
โ Right-click โ Save items โ save as export.xml
```
**Option B โ Site map scanner issues:**
```
Target tab โ Site map โ Select URL โ Under Contents โ Right-click โ Save items โ save as export.xml
```

## โ๏ธ Configuration
### Claude Desktop
Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows) or `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Mac):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"burp-analyzer": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["/path/to/burp_mcp_server.py"]
}
}
}
```
**Windows with WSL:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"burp-analyzer": {
"command": "wsl.exe",
"args": ["python3", "/home/YOUR_USERNAME/burp-mcp-analyzer/burp_mcp_server.py"]
}
}
}
```
### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add burp-analyzer python3 /path/to/burp_mcp_server.py
```
Or import from Claude Desktop if already configured:
```bash
claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop
```
### OpenCode
Edit `~/.config/opencode/config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"burp-analyzer": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["/path/to/burp_mcp_server.py"],
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
```
### GitHub Copilot (VS Code)
Create `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project:
```json
{
"servers": {
"burp-analyzer": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "python3",
"args": ["/path/to/burp_mcp_server.py"]
}
}
}
```
### Cursor
Edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"burp-analyzer": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["/path/to/burp_mcp_server.py"]
}
}
}
```
### Windsurf
Edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"burp-analyzer": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["/path/to/burp_mcp_server.py"]
}
}
}
```
> Restart your AI client after editing config files.

## ๐ฌ Usage
Once configured, load a Burp XML export and start asking:
```
Load this file: /path/to/export.xml
```
### Example Prompts
**Recon**
```
Show me all unique endpoints and paths discovered
```
**Security Analysis**
```
Scan all traffic for secrets, API keys, and credentials
Check all responses for missing or misconfigured security headers
```
**Traffic**
```
Show me all POST requests that returned 200
Find all 500 errors with the full response body
```
**Reporting**
```
Generate a full penetration test report with all findings
```
**Chained**
```
Load the file, map all endpoints, find injection points, then tell me the top 3 things to test
Find all sensitive data exposed in responses and group by risk level
```
For a full list of example prompts, see [PROMPTS.md](PROMPTS.md).

## ๐ Sensitive Data Patterns Detected
The server automatically scans for 20+ patterns:
- JWT Tokens, Bearer Tokens, Basic Auth
- AWS Access Keys & Secret Keys
- Google API Keys, GitHub Tokens, Slack Tokens, Stripe Keys, SendGrid Keys
- Passwords in URLs and request bodies
- Database connection strings
- Private keys (RSA, EC)
- Session cookies (PHPSESSID, JSESSIONID, connect.sid)
- SQL errors and stack traces
- Internal IP addresses
- Email addresses, Credit card numbers

## ๐ก๏ธ Security Headers Checked
`Strict-Transport-Security` ยท `Content-Security-Policy` ยท `X-Frame-Options` ยท `X-Content-Type-Options` ยท `Referrer-Policy` ยท `Permissions-Policy` ยท `Cache-Control` ยท `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`

## ๐๏ธ Supported File Formats
| Format | How to get it |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| Burp XML export (`.xml`) | Proxy โ HTTP History โ Save items |
| Gzip-compressed XML | Project โ Save copy (some Burp versions) |
> Raw `.burp` project files are **not supported** โ they use a proprietary binary format. Use the XML export instead.
