The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools over HTTP. Probo exposes an MCP server so that AI agents — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client — can read and write compliance data on your behalf.
With MCP you can ask an AI to list all open risks, create a vendor record from a meeting note, or check which controls still need evidence, and the agent will call Probo directly rather than asking you to do it manually.
Endpoint https://your-probo-instance/api/mcp/v1
Authentication All MCP requests require an API key passed as a Bearer token. Generate one in Probo under Settings → Access → API keys (see API keys ).
Connecting Claude Desktop
Generate an API key
In Probo, go to Settings → Access → API keys and create a new key. Copy the value — you will not be able to see it again.
Open the Claude Desktop config file
The configuration file is at: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Add the Probo MCP server
Add a mcpServers entry with your instance URL and API key: claude_desktop_config.json
{ "mcpServers" : { "probo" : { "url" : "https://your-probo-instance/api/mcp/v1" , "headers" : { "Authorization" : "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }
Restart Claude Desktop
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The Probo tools should appear in the tools list (hammer icon).
Replace your-probo-instance with the actual hostname of your Probo deployment, for example app.getprobo.com.
The Probo MCP server exposes the following tools. Any MCP-compatible agent can call them.

Use cases AI-assisted risk identification — Ask an AI assistant to review a description of a new system and suggest risks. It can then call addRisk to record them directly in Probo.Automated vendor assessment — When onboarding a new tool, ask the agent to call addVendor and addVendorRiskAssessment with values it extracts from the vendor’s security documentation.Evidence gathering — Ask the agent to list controls that still need evidence (listControls, listMeasureEvidences) and draft a collection plan, then assign tasks (addTask, assignTask) to the responsible people.Compliance gap analysis — Ask the agent to pull all open findings (listFindings) and map them to controls (listControlMeasures), producing a prioritized remediation list without leaving the chat.
API keys Generate and manage API keys for MCP authentication.
CLI (prb) Use the command-line interface to manage Probo resources.
