BLT-MCP Server

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.
1

Set the server up locally

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal
npm install
npm run build
2

Register it in Claude Code

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal
claude mcp add -e "BLT_API_BASE=${BLT_API_BASE}" -e "BLT_API_KEY=${BLT_API_KEY}" blt-mcp -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_BLT_MCP>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_BLT_MCP>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.

Structured access to the OWASP Bug Logging Tool (BLT) ecosystem

BLT-MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI agents and developers with structured access to the BLT (Bug Logging Tool) ecosystem. This server enables seamless integration with IDEs and chat interfaces to log bugs, triage issues, query data, and manage security workflows.

Overview

BLT-MCP implements the MCP standard, giving AI agents structured access to BLT through three powerful layers:

🔗 Resources (blt:// URIs)

Access BLT data through standardized URIs:

  • blt://issues - All issues in the system
  • blt://issues/{id} - Specific issue details
  • blt://repos - Tracked repositories
  • blt://repos/{id} - Specific repository details
  • blt://contributors - All contributors
  • blt://contributors/{id} - Specific contributor details
  • blt://workflows - All workflows
  • blt://workflows/{id} - Specific workflow details
  • blt://leaderboards - Leaderboard rankings and statistics
  • blt://rewards - Rewards and bacon points

🛠️ Tools

Perform actions on BLT:

  • submit_issue - Report new bugs and vulnerabilities
  • award_bacon - Award bacon points to contributors (gamification)
  • update_issue_status - Change issue status (open, in_progress, resolved, closed, wont_fix)
  • add_comment - Add comments to issues

💡 Prompts

AI-guided workflows for common security tasks:

  • triage_vulnerability - Guide AI through vulnerability triage and severity assessment
  • plan_remediation - Create comprehensive remediation plans for security issues
  • review_contribution - Evaluate contributions with quality assessment and bacon point recommendations

Features

  • JSON-RPC 2.0 - Standard protocol for reliable communication
  • OAuth/API Key Authentication - Secure access to BLT endpoints
  • Unified Interface - Single agent-friendly interface to all BLT functionality
  • Autonomous Workflows - Enable AI agents to work independently
  • Gamification Support - Built-in support for BLT's bacon point system
  • Security-First - Designed for vulnerability management and security workflows

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher
  • npm or yarn

Install Dependencies

npm install

Build

npm run build

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file based on .env.example:

cp .env.example .env

Configure the following variables:

BLT_API_BASE=https://blt.owasp.org/api
BLT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

MCP Client Configuration

To use this server with an MCP client (like Claude Desktop or Cline), add it to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blt": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/blt-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BLT_API_BASE": "https://blt.owasp.org/api",
        "BLT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage

Running the Server

The server runs using stdio transport for MCP communication:

node dist/index.js

Using with AI Agents

Once configured in your MCP client, you can interact with BLT through natural language:

Example: Submitting an Issue
"Submit a new critical vulnerability in the authentication system of repo 123"

The AI agent will use the submit_issue tool to create the issue.

Example: Accessing Resources
"Show me the leaderboard"

The AI agent will read from blt://leaderboards to display the rankings.

Example: Using Prompts
"Help me triage this XSS vulnerability in the login form"

The AI agent will use the triage_vulnerability prompt to guide the analysis.
