A Burp Suite extension by PortSwigger that exposes Burp's capabilities to AI clients via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It includes an SSE MCP server and a packaged stdio proxy for clients like Claude Desktop.

Use cases

• let an AI assistant drive Burp Suite for web security testing
• connect Claude Desktop to Burp Suite via MCP
• control Burp Suite tools and configuration from an MCP client
• automate penetration testing workflows with an LLM agent
• expose Burp Suite as an MCP server over SSE or stdio

When to choose

• you already use Burp Suite and want AI-assisted web security testing
• you want an official PortSwigger MCP integration for Burp
• you need both SSE and stdio MCP transports for Burp

When to avoid

• you don't use Burp Suite or do manual-only testing
• you need an MCP server for tools other than Burp
• you can't install Java and the jar tooling required to build it
