Burp MCP Server Integration

What does “Burp” MCP Server do?

The Burp MCP Server is an extension that integrates Burp Suite with AI clients using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). By acting as a bridge, it enables AI assistants to interact with Burp Suite, enhancing development and security testing workflows. The server allows clients to connect via MCP and perform operations such as sending and receiving data, configuring settings, and leveraging Burp Suite’s powerful web security features programmatically. This integration supports tasks like automating repetitive actions, querying Burp for information, and enabling seamless communication between Burp Suite and external AI-powered tools, thereby boosting productivity and facilitating advanced automation for security professionals and developers.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "burp": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “burp” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Based on the available documentation, the Burp MCP Server provides good integration instructions and clear use cases for Burp Suite, but lacks details on prompts, resources, tools, and security best practices. Documentation is focused on setup and high-level features. Rating: 5/10.
