MCP support
Exposes SecureAnnex extension search, information, security analysis, review, and update functions as tools for MCP clients. It requires a SecureAnnex API key.
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.

From the project README
SecureAnnex MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analyzing browser extension security. This server provides tools for querying, analyzing, and evaluating security aspects of browser extensions including vulnerability detection, signature checking, code review, and more.
Quick Setup
No manual Python environment setup is needed. This MCP server is designed to work with Claude Desktop, which automatically handles all dependencies using the uv package manager and the included pyproject.toml file.
To get started:
- Download or clone this repository
- Make sure the
pyproject.tomlfile is in the project directory - Configure Claude Desktop as shown below
- Optional: If Claude can't find the
uvcommand, use the absolute path instead, You can find the absolute path by runningwhich uvin your terminal.
Claude Desktop Configuration
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"secureannex": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/secure-annex-mcp",
"run",
"secure_annex_mcp"
],
"env": {
"SECUREANNEX_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Note: Replace /path/to/secure-annex-mcp with the absolute path to your SecureAnnex MCP server directory.

Example Usage
Here are some practical examples of how to use the tools with Claude:
Searching for Extensions
# Get all extensions developed by specific developer
I need to find all extensions by [email protected]
# Claude would use:
{
"name": "search_extensions",
"arguments": {
"owner": "[email protected]"
}
}
Security Analysis
# Get all security signatures for an extension
Show me all security signatures for the AdBlock extension
# Claude would use:
{
"name": "get_extension_signatures",
"arguments": {
"extension_id": "gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"
}
}
# Extract all network domains from an extension
Extract all domains embedded in the AdBlock extension
# Claude would use:
{
"name": "get_extension_urls",
"arguments": {
"extension_id": "gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"
}
}
# Analyze manifest permissions
Show me a table of all permissions requested by AdBlock with explanations
# Claude would use:
{
"name": "get_extension_manifest_risks",
"arguments": {
"extension_id": "gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"
}
}
Integration with Other MCPs
# Leveraging VirusTotal MCP for domain reputation
Can you extract all domains from the AdBlock extension and check their reputation on VirusTotal?
# Claude would use both SecureAnnex and VirusTotal MCPs:
# 1. First, get domains from SecureAnnex
{
"name": "get_extension_urls",
"arguments": {
"extension_id": "gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"
}
}
# 2. Then for each domain, check VirusTotal
{
"name": "domain_report", // VirusTotal MCP tool
"arguments": {
"domain": "example.com" // For each domain found
}
}
# 3. Claude would compile results into a table:
| Domain | Reputation | Detection Ratio | Categories |
|--------|------------|-----------------|------------|
| domain1.com | Clean | 0/85 | Advertising |
| domain2.com | Suspicious | 3/85 | Marketing |
Comprehensive Analysis
# Request a complete security review of an extension
Perform a full security audit of the AdBlock extension
# Claude would combine multiple tools:
{
"name": "get_extension_details",
"arguments": {
"extension_id": "gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"
}
}
{
"name": "get_extension_vulnerabilities",
"arguments": {
"extension_id": "gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"
}
}
{
"name": "get_extension_analysis",
"arguments": {
"extension_id": "gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"
}
}
API Key
The SecureAnnex MCP server requires an API key for authentication with the SecureAnnex API. Obtain your API key from the SecureAnnex service and include it in the Claude Desktop configuration as shown above.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues:
- Ensure your API key is correctly set in the environment variables
- Verify the path in your Claude Desktop configuration is correct

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.
