Burp Integration

The extension integrates deeply with Burp Suite's existing tools and workflows.

Supported Burp Tools

Burp Tool
Integration

Proxy History

Right-click context menus on HTTP requests. Passive scanner monitors all proxy traffic.

Repeater

Context menus available on requests/responses. MCP tools can create Repeater tabs.

Intruder

MCP tools can send requests to Intruder and configure insertion points.

Scanner (Pro)

Issue context menus for analysis. AI ScanCheck integrates with native scanner. Active scanner uses Collaborator.

Site Map

Context menus on entries. MCP tools can browse and search the site map.

Target Scope

Scanners respect in-scope filters. MCP tools can check/modify scope.

Comparer (Pro)

MCP tools can send items to Comparer for diff analysis.

Collaborator (Pro)

Active scanner generates Collaborator payloads for out-of-band detection.

MCP Tool Toggles

The MCP server exposes 53+ tools to external AI agents. For security, you control which tools are available:

Safe vs Unsafe Tools

  • Safe tools (enabled by default): Read-only operations like browsing proxy history, site map, scope checks, and utility functions.

  • Unsafe tools (disabled by default): Operations that modify state or send traffic — HTTP requests, Repeater tab creation, Intruder, scope modification, scanner control.

Managing Tool Access

  1. Navigate to Settings → MCP Server.

  2. Use the Tool Toggles checkboxes to enable/disable individual tools.

  3. Use Select All / Deselect All for quick management.

  4. Toggle Enable Unsafe Tools to enable all unsafe tools at once.

Security recommendation: Only enable unsafe tools when actively working with an MCP client you trust. Disable them when not in use.

Native Scanner Integration (Pro)

On Burp Suite Professional, the extension registers an AiScanCheck with Burp's built-in active scanner. This means:

  • AI-powered scan checks run alongside Burp's default checks during active scans.

  • Findings are reported as native Burp issues with [AI Active] prefix.

  • The AI scanner respects Burp's scan configuration and scope settings.

On Community Edition, this integration is silently skipped and the AI scanner operates independently.
