Tenable Docs MCP
A Model Context Protocol server that answers questions from Tenable's product documentation, with a link to the exact section that supports each answer. It covers docs.tenable.com and its seven translated sites, in every product, guide, and published version, and it runs locally as a single Go binary with an embedded SQLite index.
For questions about Tenable's APIs, use the Tenable Developer Portal MCP, which developer.tenable.com hosts. The two are complementary: this server covers the product documentation, and that one covers the API reference.
