zscaler-mcp-server

Connects AI agents to the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform via the Model Context Protocol, enabling read-only operations by default with optional write capabilities.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: ZSCALER_MCP_TLS_KEYFILE_PASSWORD, ZSCALER_CLIENT_SECRET
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.
configZSCALER_MCP_REQUEST_STATE_KEYSShared key ring for the SEP-2322 requestState. JSON array or comma-separated; each key ≥32 bytes (python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"). Required for multi-replica HTTP deployments with write tools enabled — unset uses a per-process key, so a confirmation issued by one replica cannot be validated by another. First key seals, all unseal (rotate [old,new] → [new,old] → [new]).
configZSCALER_MCP_TLS_CERTFILEPath to TLS certificate file (PEM format) for HTTPS.
configZSCALER_MCP_TLS_KEYFILEPath to TLS private key file (PEM format) for HTTPS.
🔐 secretZSCALER_MCP_TLS_KEYFILE_PASSWORDPassword for encrypted TLS private key (if applicable).
configZSCALER_MCP_TLS_CA_CERTSPath to CA certificate bundle for mutual TLS or custom CA chains.
configZSCALER_MCP_ALLOW_HTTPHTTPS is required by default for non-localhost deployments. The server will refuse to start on a non-localhost interface without TLS certificates unless you explicitly set =true.
configZSCALER_MCP_DOTENV_PATH
configZSCALER_CLIENT_IDLayer 2 (Zscaler API Auth): Controlled by , ZSCALER_CLIENT_SECRET, etc. — authenticates the server to Zscaler APIs

configZSCALER_MCP_TRANSPORTTransport method - stdio, sse, or streamable-http (default: stdio)
configZSCALER_MCP_HOSTHost for HTTP transports (default: 127.0.0.1)
configZSCALER_MCP_PORTPort for HTTP transports (default: 8000)
configZSCALER_MCP_SERVICESComma-separated list of services to enable (default: all services)
configZSCALER_MCP_DISABLED_SERVICESComma-separated list of services to exclude (e.g., zcc,zdx). Takes precedence over ZSCALER_MCP_SERVICES.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

348/348 tools missing one or more hints — zpa_list_application_servers (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); zpa_get_application_server (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); zpa_create_application_server (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +345 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Secrets not logged

4 secret values sent to print

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 3 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
