Connector Documents & Content Usable

A Spring Boot application exposing OWASP ZAP as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It lets any MCP‑compatible AI agent (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor) orchestrate ZAP actions—spider, active scan, import OpenAPI specs, and generate reports.

Scan API endpoints and auto-generate remediation summaries
Import OpenAPI specs and run baseline security checks
Spider web apps and analyze crawl results for anomalies

Why it matters

Embeds OWASP ZAP security scanning directly into AI workflows, letting Claude automate security testing without manual tool switching. Reduces friction for security teams integrating scanning into CI/CD or ad-hoc pentesting.

Best for

Security engineers and DevSecOps leads who want Claude to orchestrate vulnerability scanning, parse ZAP reports, and recommend fixes within conversation context.
