Claude Code cisa cybersecurity mcp server cisa_list_reference

How to: Claude Code cisa cybersecurity mcp server cisa_list_reference

client:Claude Code transport:streamable-http tool:cisa_list_reference

Add cisa cybersecurity mcp server to Claude Code

  1. 01

    Run this in your project directory.

claude mcp add --transport http cisa-cybersecurity-mcp-server https://cisa-cybersecurity.caseyjhand.com/mcp
  1. 02

    Restart your session so the server is picked up.

  2. 03

    Ask for something cisa_list_reference does. Claude Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls cisa_list_reference itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that cisa cybersecurity mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Adds it for this project only. Append --scope user to make it available everywhere. Claude Code docs

Set these first

cisa cybersecurity mcp server will not start until these are set, so cisa_list_reference never becomes available.

  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL
  • CISA_KEV_REFRESH_CRON
  • CISA_CSAF_MIRROR_PATH
  • CISA_CSAF_MIRROR_AUTO_INIT
  • CISA_CSAF_REFRESH_CRON
  • CISA_VULNRICHMENT_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS
  • CISA_FEED_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS
  • CISA_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
