Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Tenable MCP (Management Control Panel)Command (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository, run the setup script, then edit application.yml with your Tenable.io API credentials (accessKey, secretKey, baseUrl). Start the app with ./gradlew bootRun or build and run the Docker container. Once running, access API endpoints such as GET /api/v1/visualizations/report for a security report or GET /api/v1/visualizations/export/vulnerabilities for a CSV export.
