How to: Claude Code mitre cwe mcp server cwe_search_attack_patterns
Add mitre cwe mcp server to Claude Code
-

claude mcp add --transport http mitre-cwe-mcp-server https://mitre-cwe.caseyjhand.com/mcp-
02

03

-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that mitre cwe mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 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.
