MCP Import

Overview

Akto now supports direct import of MCPs (tools, resources, and prompts) into MCP Inventory via Connectors. 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 Argus Dashboard → Go to Connectors.

2

Select MCP Import.

3

Fill in MCP Initialize URL

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

  
• If your MCP server is secured, choose the This site requires login? tick box.

4

Fill in the Authentication Credentials (Optional)

Enter the following details:

• (Optional) Add Auth Headers:

  Header Key: Authorization
  Header Value: Bearer your-token

Example With Authorisation

SSE Endpoint URL: https://mcp.example.com/sse
Header Key: Authorization
Head

5

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

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 testing.

Security

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

• Akto uses read-only access to your SSE stream
