GoMobSec MCP server

The official Model Context Protocol server for GoMobSec. Use it to scan Android and iOS apps for security issues from Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client. Results are mapped to OWASP MASVS, CWE and CVSS, and you can download the full pentest-style report.

You: Scan ./build/app-release.apk and tell me what to fix first.
AI:  start_scan → wait_for_scan → get_findings → a prioritised fix plan

Use it in Claude without installing anything

GoMobSec also runs this server for you at https://mcp.gomobsec.ai/mcp. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, enter that URL, and sign in with your GoMobSec account (Professional and Enterprise plans). Setup, tools, security and privacy are covered in docs/HOSTED.md.

The rest of this page is about the local server, which reads apps straight from your disk and authenticates with an API key.

Requirements

• A GoMobSec account with an API key. Create one under API keys in GoMobSec. API keys come with the Professional and Enterprise plans.
• uv (recommended) or Python 3.10+.

Install

The server runs locally over stdio. Your API key stays on your machine, and the server reads the APK or IPA straight from disk.

Claude Code

claude mcp add gomobsec --env GOMOBSEC_API_KEY=your-key -- uvx gomobsec-mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others

Add this to the client's MCP config file. For Claude Desktop that is claude_desktop_config.json; for Cursor it is ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gomobsec": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["gomobsec-mcp"],
      "env": { "GOMOBSEC_API_KEY": "your-key" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the key on first use and stores it securely:

{
  "inputs": [
    { "type": "promptString", "id": "gomobsec-key", "description": "GoMobSec API key", "password": true }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "gomobsec": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["gomobsec-mcp"],
      "env": { "GOMOBSEC_API_KEY": "${input:gomobsec-key}" }
    }
  }
}

Without uv, run pip install gomobsec-mcp and use gomobsec-mcp as the command.

Tools

There is also one prompt, security_review, which turns a finished scan into a prioritised fix plan.

Scans you start here count against your GoMobSec plan, exactly like scans from the web app or CI. The scan modes and limits are the ones your plan allows.

Configuration

Security

• Your key stays local. It is read from the environment and only ever sent to GoMobSec over HTTPS. It is never written to a file or included in tool output.
• Uploads are limited to app packages. start_scan only sends files that are mobile app packages: the right extension, a zip archive, and at most 250 MB. It cannot be used to upload any other file from your machine.
• Downloads never overwrite. download_report takes no path. It writes new files (mode 0600) into GOMOBSEC_DOWNLOAD_DIR and never replaces an existing file.
• Finding text is treated as untrusted. Titles and descriptions can contain strings from the scanned app, and an app author controls those. The server strips control and bidi characters, keeps the text inside a fenced data block, and tells the model to treat it as data. Still, review what your assistant does after reading the results of a scan of an app you don't trust.
• Access is limited to your own scans. The key only sees scans on its own account or organisation. Revoke it in GoMobSec at any time.

To report a vulnerability, see SECURITY.md.

Privacy

The local server keeps nothing. It reads your API key from the environment, sends requests only to GoMobSec, and writes only the reports you ask for. What GoMobSec does with the apps you scan is in the GoMobSec privacy policy. For the hosted connector, see its privacy policy.

Development

python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[test]"
pytest

Try it with the MCP Inspector: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector gomobsec-mcp.

The hosted connector's tests (tests/test_hosted.py) run a real HTTP server on a free port and go through the whole OAuth flow, with GoMobSec's side faked.

Releasing

1. Bump the version in src/gomobsec_mcp/__init__.py and both version fields in server.json (the tests and the release workflow check they match), and add a CHANGELOG.md entry.
2. Publish a GitHub release tagged vX.Y.Z. The Publish workflow tests and builds it, uploads it to PyPI (Trusted Publishing), then lists it in the MCP Registry (GitHub OIDC). No tokens are stored in the repository.
