Quick Start

Prerequisites

1. Node.js 18+ - Download
2. SecurityScorecard API Token - Get from your SecurityScorecard dashboard

Option A — Install from npm (recommended)

No clone or build required. Point Claude Desktop at the published package with npx.

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "security-scorecard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@callmarcus/securityscorecard-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SECURITY_SCORECARD_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "COMPANY_DOMAIN": "example.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

npx -y fetches and runs the latest published version automatically. Replace the credentials with your own, then restart Claude Desktop.

Option B — Run from source (for development)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/CallMarcus/security-scorecard-mcp.git
cd security-scorecard-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build (use build:fast to avoid memory issues)
npm run build:fast

Then point Claude Desktop at your local build:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "security-scorecard": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/security-scorecard-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SECURITY_SCORECARD_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "COMPANY_DOMAIN": "example.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: Replace the path and credentials with your actual values, then restart Claude Desktop.

Available Tools

The server (index.js) provides 9 specialized tools optimized for Claude Desktop:

Response Modes

Each tool supports three response modes for token efficiency:

• minimal - Quick answers (15-50 tokens)
• standard - Overview with context (200-300 tokens)
• detailed - Comprehensive analysis (800+ tokens)

Environment Variables

Optional rate limiting and caching:

REQUEST_CACHE_TTL_MS=300000
REQUESTS_PER_INTERVAL=5
REQUEST_INTERVAL_MS=1000

API Discovery

The server includes hybrid search (semantic + keyword) for finding SecurityScorecard API endpoints:

Use api_discovery to search for "email security"

This searches 628 indexed endpoints and returns matching paths with confidence scores, required parameters, and curl examples.

To update the API reference after changes:

npm run api:embed    # Regenerate semantic embeddings
npm run api:update   # Regenerate docs + embeddings

Development

Build Commands

npm run build:fast   # Recommended - uses esbuild (~130ms)
npm run build        # TypeScript compiler (may OOM on some systems)
npm test             # Run tests

Project Structure

src/
  index.ts               # MCP server (9 tools)
  api/client.ts          # SecurityScorecard API client
  integration/           # API discovery system
docs/api/                # Self-contained API reference
  index.jsonl            # Endpoint index (628 endpoints)
  index-embeddings.json  # Semantic search embeddings
build/                   # Compiled JavaScript

Testing

npm test             # Run test suite

Troubleshooting

Build fails with out of memory

Use the fast build instead:

npm run build:fast

"Cannot find module" errors

Reinstall dependencies:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm run build:fast

Claude Desktop doesn't see the MCP

1. Check the config path: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
2. Verify the path to index.js is correct
3. Restart Claude Desktop completely
