### Description (declared)

# Rapid7 InsightVM MCP Server

MCP server for interacting with Rapid7 InsightVM on-premise instances.

## Configuration

**Authentication**: InsightVM API v3 uses HTTP Basic Authentication (username/password). It's recommended to create a dedicated API user account in InsightVM with appropriate permissions rather than using a personal account.

### Option 1: config.json

```bash
cp config.json.example config.json
# Edit config.json with your API user credentials
```

### Option 2: Environment Variables

```bash
export INSIGHTVM_HOST="insightvm.example.com:3780"
export INSIGHTVM_USERNAME="api-user"  # Dedicated API user account
export INSIGHTVM_PASSWORD="api-password"
export INSIGHTVM_VERIFY_SSL="true"
```

## Installation

### Option 1: Using uv (Recommended)

[uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) is a fast Python package manager. Install it first:

```bash
# macOS/Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

No additional installation needed - `uvx` will handle dependencies automatically.

### Option 2: Using pip

```bash
pip install bibliocommons-mcp-insightvm
# or for development
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## AI Client Setup

### VS Code (with MCP Extension)

1. Install an MCP-compatible extension in VS Code
2. Open VS Code Settings (JSON): `Cmd+Shift+P` → "Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)"

      "args": ["--from", "/absolute/path/to/rapid7-insightvm", "bibliocommons-mcp-insightvm"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Alternative: Using python directly**

```json
{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "rapid7-insightvm": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "bibliocommons_mcp_insightvm"]
    }
  }
}
```
