About gorgon-scout
Gorgon Scout is a Windows DAST application and MCP server for security teams testing web applications and APIs they own or are authorised to assess. It lets an AI agent manage targets, run scans, track findings, and produce Word reports.
Key features
- 01Manage target profiles
- 02Record sites through Chromium crawling
- 03Import OpenAPI, Postman, and HAR specs
- 04Start scans and track structured findings
- 05Run AI post-scan analysis
Use cases
- 01Scan an authorised web application
- 02Test an API using an imported specification
- 03Track scan progress and findings
- 04Generate a Word report after a scan
MCP support
The MCP server exposes typed tools for controlling the Gorgon Scout desktop app, including target management, scanning, progress checks, and analysis. It requires the Windows app to be installed.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEGorgon Scout MCP server
Run AI-driven web-application and API security scans from Claude, or any MCP agent.
Gorgon Scout is a Windows application security scanner (DAST). This is its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which lets your AI assistant drive the whole workflow in plain language: ask it to scan a web app or API you are authorised to test, and it records the target, runs the scan, streams progress and findings, and produces a Word report with optional AI analysis.
Works with the free plan of Claude Desktop.
What it does
Point your assistant at a target and say "scan this." The connector exposes Scout as typed MCP tools, so the agent can:
- create and manage target profiles
- AI auto-record a site (a Chromium window crawls the app and collects the login)
- import an OpenAPI / Postman / HAR spec for API testing
- start a scan and poll progress and findings as structured results
- run AI post-scan analysis for deeper, validated dives
Every scan still requires you to confirm the in-scope hostname. Your account credentials are never sent to the model.
Highlights
- Nothing to configure. Capture happens at the network layer: no proxy, no PAC files, no per-browser certificate ritual.
- Every HTTP version. Intercepts HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 (QUIC), which still defeats most interception proxies.
- Signal over noise. Field-aware probes, gated by parameter type and authorisation tier. The probe library is cryptographically signed and refreshes daily against OWASP and CVE intelligence.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (x64). This connector is Windows-only.
- The Gorgon Scout desktop app installed. The installer registers this connector with Claude Desktop for you. Download: https://gorgoncyber.com/scout-download.html
- A Gorgon Cyber account: free 30-day trial (up to 2 targets), then USD 20/month.
This is a proprietary connector to a commercial app. It is not a standalone open-source MCP server.
Install
- Download and run the Gorgon Scout installer: https://gorgoncyber.com/scout-download.html Leave the Claude AI Integration connector enabled. It is registered automatically.
- Launch Gorgon Scout once, sign in, and start your free trial.
- Fully restart Claude Desktop so it loads the connector.
- Ask Claude to scan a target you are authorised to test.
Advanced: the connector is also published as a .mcpb Desktop Extension you can add to
Claude Desktop manually:

(It still requires the Gorgon Scout app to be installed.)

Tools
22 tools across account/sign-in, profile management, spec import, AI auto-record,
interactive auth handling, scan start/poll/cancel, and AI analysis. See

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
