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
Open Akto Dashboard → Go to Quick Start
Select: Import from MCP
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.
Click Import
Akto will then:
Start listening to the SSE stream
Scan events like
tool_call
,resource_call
, andprompt_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 asmcp-tools
All resource endpoints (
/v1/resources/...
) → tagged asmcp-resources
All prompt endpoints (
/v1/prompts/...
) → tagged asmcp-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
