Vulnerability discovery with AI agents

Over the past few months, a clear trend has emerged: independent researchers and cybersecurity companies are publishing not only tools but also ready-made sets of reusable ‘skills’ for AI agents — primarily for Claude and MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Examples of such repositories: 📍 Bug Bounty MCP Server 📍 Claude Bug Bounty 📍 Trail of Bits Skills Marketplace

Bug Bounty MCP Server and Claude Bug Bounty automate the vulnerability discovery workflow (reconnaissance, scanning, validation, and report generation) using an AI agent. The Trail of Bits repository offers ‘skills’ for assessing the security of smart contracts, web application source code, mobile apps, and more.

It’s worth noting that AI agents don’t replace traditional tools — they serve as an orchestration and automation layer on top of them.
