KernelScan is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Linux kernel CVE analyzer: upload a .config, get a CycloneDX VEX report of affecting CVEs. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call KernelScan's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://kernelscan.io/mcp/ and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.0.0.
KernelScan is listed under Security on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below. If you maintain KernelScan for kernelscan.io, claim this listing to verify ownership, earn the Verified badge, and keep the details current.
