Kilo Code MCP Setup
This guide shows how to configure cvss-calculator-mcp in Kilo Code (CLI and VS Code extension) for CVSS 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 Base Score calculations.
Option 1: Local MCP (stdio) - Recommended
Local stdio runs directly on your machine with zero rate limits.
Step 1: Install the Binary (Linux / macOS)
curl -fsSL https://get.cvss.my.id/install.sh | bashStep 2: Configure Kilo Code
For Kilo Code CLI / v1.0+, add cvss-calculator under "mcp" in ~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc (global) or kilo.jsonc (project):
{ "$schema": "https://kilo.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "cvss-calculator": { "type": "local", "command": ["cvss-calculator-mcp"], "enabled": true } }}For the Kilo Code VS Code Extension (.kilocode/mcp.json or Global mcp_settings.json), add under "mcpServers":
{ "mcpServers": { "cvss-calculator": { "command": "cvss-calculator-mcp", "args": [] } }}Option 2: Remote MCP (Streamable HTTP)
Connect to https://cvss.my.id/mcp without installing a local binary.
Rate limit: 5 requests per minute per IP. For higher usage, run Local MCP (stdio).
In kilo.jsonc (~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc):
{ "$schema": "https://kilo.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "cvss-calculator": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://cvss.my.id/mcp", "enabled": true } }}Or in .kilocode/mcp.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "cvss-calculator": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://cvss.my.id/mcp" } }}Verify the Connection
- Open Kilo Code MCP Servers settings and confirm
cvss-calculatoris connected and exposescalculate_cvss. - Ask Kilo Code:
Use calculate_cvss to score CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HExpected Base Score result: 10.0 (CRITICAL).
Troubleshooting
- Command not found: Replace
"cvss-calculator-mcp"with the full path fromwhich cvss-calculator-mcp. HTTP 429on Remote MCP: The public endpoint allows5 requests per minute per IP. Use Option 1 (Localstdio).
