Summary

Bugcrowd has unveiled Bugcrowd AI Connect, a new feature designed to enhance the integration of AI in security operations by providing secure, on-demand access to vulnerability data managed by Bugcrowd. This capability addresses the challenge of AI-driven tools being disconnected from critical security data, which often forces manual cross-referencing of reports with internal documentation, slowing response times. Built on the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI Connect offers a standardized way for AI applications to query submission data in real-time, enabling tools to access and integrate rich, context-aware information from Bugcrowd with private data sources like GitHub repositories. This leads to more accurate and actionable remediation advice, reducing errors and enabling faster, more effective fixes. By leveraging MCP, AI Connect promotes streamlined and flexible integration with existing tools while maintaining secure data access based on user permissions. The introduction of AI Connect marks a significant milestone in Bugcrowd's roadmap to deliver hyper-contextualized AI models, with further insights and demonstrations available at Black Hat USA 2025.
