## Pricing

from $50.00 / 1,000 tool calls

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Cybersecurity MCP

A Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents security data — CVEs, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, dependency advisories and domain/SSL posture — as callable tools. For security-research and monitoring agents.

### 🛠 Tools (6)

- `cisa_kev` — CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- `dependency_advisories` — Dependency security advisories.
- `domain_security_posture` — Security-posture check for a domain.
- `extension_security` — Browser-extension security check.
- `search_cves` — Search CVE records.
- `ssl_check` — SSL/TLS certificate check.

### 🔌 Connect (Claude Desktop / Cursor / n8n / OpenAI Agents SDK)

Add this MCP server to your client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cybersecurity": {
      "url": "https://nexgendata--cybersecurity-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**Sample agent prompt:**

```
Check a domain's CVEs against the CISA KEV list and review its SSL posture.
```

**Pricing:** $0.04 per tool call (Pay-Per-Event). Runs in Standby mode.

## Cybersecurity MCP Server — Vulnerability & Security Intelligence for AI Agents

An **MCP (Model Context Protocol) server** that gives AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client — a single connection to a full **vulnerability and security-intelligence toolkit** for DevSecOps, threat intel, and security operations.

Instead of wiring up eight separate actors, point your agent at one MCP endpoint and it gains live tools for CVEs, actively-exploited vulnerabilities, dependency advisories, DNS, TLS/SSL, domain security posture, and Chrome-extension risk analysis.

> This is an **MCP server**, not a scraper. Running it directly only prints connection instructions. Connect from an MCP client to use the tools.

### 🔌 Connect

**Streamable HTTP endpoint:**

```
https://nexgendata--cybersecurity-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp
```

**Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf** (`mcp` config):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cybersecurity": {
      "url": "https://nexgendata--cybersecurity-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
```

### 🛡️ Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| `search_cves` | Search recent CVE records by keyword (vendor/product/tech) — IDs, descriptions, CVSS severity, dates |
| `cisa_kev` | Query CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog + EPSS exploit-probability scores and due dates |
| `dependency_advisories` | Known security advisories (CVE/GHSA) for npm / PyPI / other package dependencies |
| `dns_lookup` | Bulk DNS records — A/AAAA, MX, NS, TXT (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), CNAME, SOA |
| `dns_propagation` | Check DNS propagation across global resolvers (cutover / migration verification) |
| `ssl_check` | TLS/SSL certificate inspection — issuer, validity, expiry, chain, protocol |
| `domain_security_posture` | Composite domain security score — email auth, DNSSEC, TLS, security headers |
| `extension_security` | Chrome-extension risk analysis — permissions, host access, risk scoring (CRXcavator-style) |

### 🎯 Use Cases

- **Vulnerability triage** — an agent pulls new CVEs for your stack, cross-checks CISA KEV for active exploitation, and flags what to patch first.
- **Dependency / supply-chain risk** — feed a `package.json` or `requirements.txt` and get advisories per dependency.
- **Attack-surface & domain hygiene** — DNS records, SSL expiry, and a security-posture score for any domain portfolio.
- **Browser-extension governance** — score the Chrome extensions your org allows for permission risk.
- **Continuous monitoring** — agents call these tools on a schedule and alert on changes.

### 🧪 Example agent prompts

- *"Are there any critical CVEs for Fortinet in the last week? Check CISA KEV too."*
- *"Audit lodash and django for known advisories."*
- *"What's the SSL expiry and security posture for github.com?"*

### ⚙️ How it works

Each MCP tool proxies to a dedicated, production-tested NexGenData security actor via the Apify API and returns the resulting dataset items as structured content. No re-implementation of scraping — the server orchestrates eight existing actors behind one MCP surface.
