The SD Elements MCP Server provides integration between Large Language Models (LLMs) and the SD Elements security development lifecycle platform through the Model Context Protocol. This server exposes various SD Elements API endpoints, allowing AI assistants to manage projects, applications, countermeasures, tasks, and more.

The server requires two environment variables to function:
SDE_HOST
: Your SD Elements instance URL (e.g., https://your-sdelements-instance.com
)SDE_API_KEY
: Your SD Elements API keyYou can set these variables in two ways:
Option 1: Using environment variables directly
export SDE_HOST="https://your-sdelements-instance.com"
export SDE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Option 2: Using a .env file
Create a .env
file in your working directory:
SDE_HOST=https://your-sdelements-instance.com
SDE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
SDE_API_KEY
Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sde-elements": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["git+https://github.com/geoffwhittington/sde-mcp.git"],
"env": {
"SDE_HOST": "https://your-sdelements-instance.com",
"SDE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Add this to your Cline MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {

"env": {
"SDE_HOST": "https://your-sdelements-instance.com",
"SDE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Add this to your Continue configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {

}
}
}
}
Add this to your Cursor configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sde-elements": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["git+https://github.com/geoffwhittington/sde-mcp.git"],
"env": {

claude mcp add-json "sde-elements" '{"command":"uvx","args":["git+https://github.com/geoffwhittington/sde-mcp.git"],"env":{"SDE_HOST":"https://your-sdelements-instance.com","SDE_API_KEY":"your-api-key-here"}}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sde-elements": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"git+https://github.com/geoffwhittington/sde-mcp.git"
],
"env": {
"SDE_HOST": "https://your-sdelements-instance.com",
"SDE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sde-elements": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"git+https://github.com/geoffwhittington/sde-mcp.git"
],
"env": {
"SDE_HOST": "https://your-sdelements-instance.com",
"SDE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
