MCP Import

Akto now supports direct import of MCPs (tools, resources, and prompts) into MCP Inventory via Quick Start. With just your SSE endpoint URL, you can auto-discover all active MCP tools, resources, and prompts — no manual setup required.

---

🔧 What You Need

• MCP SSE Endpoint URL (e.g., ends with /sse)

• (Optional) Authorization headers – only if your MCP server requires them:

  Header Key: Authorization
  Header Value: Bearer <your-token>

---

✅ Steps to Import

1. Open Akto Dashboard → Go to Quick Start

2. Select: Import from MCP

3. Fill in SSE Details

   • SSE Endpoint URL: e.g., https://mcp.example.com/sse

   • (Optional) Add Auth Headers:

     Header Key: Authorization
     Header Value: Bearer your-token

   • If your MCP server is not secured, leave auth fields blank.

4. Click Import

Akto will then:

• Start listening to the SSE stream

• Scan events like tool_call, resource_call, and prompt_response

• Auto-register all observed MCP endpoints

Example With Authorization

SSE Endpoint URL: https://mcp.example.com/sse
Header Key: Authorization
Header Value: Bearer abc123

Without Authorization

SSE Endpoint URL: https://mcp.example.com/sse

🔍 What Gets Imported?

Akto will detect and add:

• All tool endpoints (/v1/tools/...) → tagged as mcp-tools

• All resource endpoints (/v1/resources/...) → tagged as mcp-resources

• All prompt endpoints (/v1/prompts/...) → tagged as mcp-prompts

These will appear in MCP Inventory, ready for monitoring and scanning.

🔒 Security

• Auth headers (if any) are used only once during import and are not stored

• Akto uses read-only access to your SSE stream
