Integration

Qualys integration

Qualys asset management through the QPS (Qualys API Platform Service) JSON endpoints: search, count and update host assets, manage asset tags and read the tag tree. Scoped deliberately to the JSON surface: the classic Qualys FO endpoints (vulnerability detections, scan launch and fetch, the KnowledgeBase, report download) answer XML, which this platform cannot decode, so they are not exposed here. The Qualys platform pod is part of the credential.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Qualys.Built from the 6 Qualys tools below, on the connection you add once.

Common Qualys use cases

cleaning up tags left over from a finished project
finding an asset by hostname across the whole subscription
resolving a tag name to the identifier an asset search needs
checking how large a result set will be before paging through it
creating a tag that automatically collects hosts matching a rule
enriching a finding with the full asset record of the affected machine
tracking asset counts by tag over time
listing every asset carrying a given tag
reading the installed software inventory of one host
removing a quarantine tag once remediation is complete

What you can do with Qualys

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Host asset, 3 operations

count_host_assetsCount host assetsPOSTReturns how many Asset Management host assets match the given criteria without returning them.
get_host_assetGet host assetGETReturns the full Asset Management record of a single host asset.
search_host_assetsSearch host assetsPOSTSearches Qualys Asset Management host assets with structured criteria and returns matching records.

Tag, 3 operations

create_tagCreate tagPOSTCreates a Qualys asset tag, optionally nested under a parent and driven by a rule.
delete_tagDelete tagPOSTDeletes a Qualys asset tag and removes it from every asset that carried it.
search_tagsSearch tagsPOSTSearches Qualys asset tags by name, parent or rule type.

Use Qualys from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Qualys in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Qualys operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
