Tenable MCP (Management Control Panel)
LocalAbout Tenable MCP (Management Control Panel)
Tenable MCP (Management Control Panel) is a Spring Boot application for configuring and visualizing Tenable.io security data. It is aimed at teams reviewing vulnerabilities, asset risk, and remediation progress, with CSV exports and time-range filtering.
Key features
- 01Configure Tenable.io credentials and endpoints
- 02Visualize vulnerability and asset trends
- 03Track remediation and asset risk
- 04Export security reports as CSV
- 05Filter reports by time range
Use cases
- 01Review vulnerability severity and age distributions
- 02Identify assets with high vulnerability counts
- 03Track remediation progress over time
- 04Export a time-filtered security report
MCP support
The README describes a management and visualization application with REST endpoints, but does not specify MCP protocol tools or resources.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

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.
