A practical walkthrough for integrating BurpSuite Professional with AI agents (Cursor/Claude) via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to automate Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). The setup allows an AI agent to fetch HTTP history from Burp, analyze requests for OWASP-based vulnerabilities, send suspicious endpoints to Burp Repeater, and perform safe active testing—all through natural language prompts. Three connection methods are covered: using a JavaScript MCP config snippet, uploading a .JAR file, or letting the agent auto-discover the MCP endpoint. The workflow aims to eliminate repetitive manual tasks in pentesting while keeping the human tester in control of final validation.
