MCP ZAP Server

Give AI agents a safe, self-hosted ZAP operator for guided web security scans, findings, reports, and production guardrails.

Note This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by the ZAP project. It is an independent implementation.

mcp-zap-server exposes ZAP through MCP over streamable HTTP so agentic tools can run operator-controlled security workflows without brittle glue scripts or unsafe scanner access.

Use it when you want:

safe agentic scanning with guided defaults for spider, active scan, passive scan, API imports, findings, and reports
operator control through API-key or JWT auth, tool scopes, runtime policy bundles, rate limits, and audit events
self-hosted deployment with Docker Compose for local adoption and Helm for Kubernetes
one guided tool catalog with queue-managed scan starts, findings baselines, reports and explicit operator recovery

Full documentation: danieltse.org/mcp-zap-server

An experimental headless Apple Silicon package bundles Java and ZAP for HTTP workflows. It is a maintainer-built local preview; public downloads are not available, and supplied previews are unsigned. The private ChatGPT connection guide explains Secure MCP Tunnel prerequisites and access to a local scanner.

Watch the demo: browser demo or YouTube

Quick Start

Prerequisites:

Docker 20.10+
Docker Compose v2 or newer (docker compose) with --wait and --wait-timeout support
your own MCP client with Streamable HTTP and custom-header support

This source selects image v0.17.1. Verify that the matching GitHub release and Linux AMD64/ARM64 images are published before starting it. Until then, use the published v0.16.0 release or build local source through the contributor setup. Read the 0.17.1 upgrade guide before changing an existing installation. Settings and selected versions are preserved; set IMAGE_TAG in .env deliberately when upgrading.

Prefer to ask Codex to handle setup? Manually install the optional MCP ZAP Connect plugin, then ask it to check prerequisites, start the Docker stack, configure your private MCP connection and verify status. The skill can help install missing prerequisites with your approval, then recheck and continue setup. Scanning is a separate request. The commands below remain available without the plugin.

For Cursor Desktop Free, follow the guided Cursor setup. Use a local Agent chat with available Cursor allowance to set up the scanner, check status, then request a demo crawl and report separately.

Claude Code local preview uses the same scanner and setup skill in a local Claude Code session.

For Claude Desktop Free, follow the download, setup and first-scan guide. The macOS MCPB preview adds agent-callable setup tools around the same Docker scripts and reuses existing installations. Choose a scanner release that includes the Desktop .mcpb, matching guide and checksum files. If those assets are not listed, use the local build instructions. This extension is separate from the Claude Code plugin.

git clone https://github.com/dtkmn/mcp-zap-server.git

cd mcp-zap-server

./bin/bootstrap-local.sh --start

This creates missing settings, preserves existing keys and workspace data, and starts a versioned release image. It reports ready after container health and authenticated MCP checks pass. The packaged client uses * for the curated guided tools; run scans only when requested. Existing settings retain their permissions. See quick-start permissions for the default and optional per-client restrictions.

Use Self-Serve First Run for version selection, configuration, stopping/restarting, startup timeouts, and recovery. For source builds, use the contributor setup.

Connect your MCP client:

MCP endpoint for host-side clients: http://localhost:7456/mcp
Authentication: send MCP_API_KEY from .env in the X-API-Key header
MCP client setup and authentication

The stack runs the MCP server, ZAP, and demo targets. Install and configure your preferred MCP client separately.

After connecting, try this first prompt:

Use the guided ZAP tools to crawl http://juice-shop:3000. Wait for the crawl

and passive analysis to finish, show a findings summary, generate an HTML report, and read it back through MCP. Do not run an active scan.

Expect a completed crawl, a findings summary, and a report the client can read. Use the container URL http://juice-shop:3000 for this scan; the host preview http://localhost:3001 is for your browser. Finding counts vary; a connection or scan error is not a clean result.

The default stack binds published ports to loopback. Review Quick Start Security before changing access or scan-target settings. Agent install notes cover setup permissions and standalone OCI use.

Discovery Metadata

This source includes 0.17.1 MCP Registry metadata in .mcp/server.json. Metadata in source does not publish a registry version or image. Check the MCP Registry and use metadata from the same published version as the image you deploy. The image includes the MCP server name expected by registry and catalog tooling. The published 0.16.0 version and its immutable digest remain documented in the 0.16.0 release guide.

Docker Compose remains the easiest installation path because the MCP server is designed to operate with a ZAP sidecar and explicit auth keys. The OCI package metadata is for advanced standalone installs where ZAP is already running and reachable from the MCP container.

What You Get

Guided scans: intent-first tools for spider, active scan, passive scan, API imports, findings, reports, and scan history.
Guided tool catalog: policy inspection, authentication setup and queued scan operations with status and stop controls.
Authentication: API key mode by default, optional JWT mode with refresh and revocation support.
Runtime policy bundles: configured dry-run and enforcement modes for guided tool calls.
Scan queue and history: queued active, traditional spider, AJAX Spider, and Client Spider jobs with claim-based recovery, durable Postgres state, and evidence export.
Extension contracts: experimental policy, protection, evidence metadata, and extension metadata APIs with sample extension packaging.
Operational guardrails: request body limits, rate limits, workspace quotas, tool-scope authorization, structured logs, metrics, and audit events.
Deployment paths: local Docker Compose, published JVM container images, and Helm charts for Kubernetes.

See the Client Spider guide for browser setup, authenticated guided crawling and reports.

Version 0.17.1

The 0.17.1 release and upgrade guide describes neutral recorded-findings responses, authoritative explicit target denies, permission-aware next actions, and the local client setup options. Publication of the tag, images, registry version and Desktop downloads must be verified separately in GitHub Releases. Use a version with verified published images until the matching distribution is available. The v0.17.0 GitHub release is incomplete: its Desktop assets are absent and its image-release workflow did not complete. See the upgrade guide for availability checks.

Version 0.16.0

See the 0.16.0 release and upgrade guide for that release's behavior and requirements.

Version 0.15.0

See the 0.15.0 release and upgrade guide for that release's behavior and requirements.

Version 0.14.0

See the 0.14.0 release and upgrade guide for that release's behavior and requirements.

The release notes archive and changelog cover earlier versions. For changes to older MCP integrations, use Upgrading to Guided Tools. Verify the matching image and distribution in GitHub Releases before deployment.

Security Defaults

The default posture is intentionally conservative:

api-key mode is the base runtime default.
none mode is for explicit local dev/test only.
Docker Compose binds published ports to loopback by default.
The Java 25 JVM image uses a digest-pinned distroless runtime with no shell or package manager; debug it through logs, metrics, and external diagnostic containers rather than installing tools into the application container.
URL validation blocks localhost, private networks, and link-local targets by default.
Target authentication is optional and profiles default to an empty list. When enabled, guided auth binds an exact server-side credential reference and login settings to one approved origin; callers provide only profileId and targetUrl.
Public auth exchange endpoints are rate-limited.
MCP request bodies have a hard early size cap.

For a first private AWS deployment without Kubernetes, use AWS EC2 with Docker Compose and its standalone example.

For Kubernetes, use the EKS infrastructure starter to create a dedicated evaluation cluster in an existing VPC, then deploy with the existing Helm chart. Follow the walkthrough for network configuration, JWT authentication, persistent storage and deployment checks.

Production and shared deployments should review:

Security Modes
JWT Authentication
Optional Target Form-Login
