Black Duck Signal

How to register the Black Duck MCP server with Cursor.

Prerequisites:

  • Node.js 24 or higher. If you need to download Node.js, see Node.js download.

  • Cursor. If you need to install Cursor, see Cursor Documentation.

  • A Signal Enterprise or Developer subscription.

Follow the steps to add Black Duck's MCP server in Cursor:

  1. In Cursor, navigate to Settings > Tools & MCP > New MCP Server.
  2. Paste the following code:
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "Black Duck": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@blackducksoftware/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "BLACKDUCK_MCP_GATEWAY_KEY": "YOUR_LLM_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
  3. Replace the API key placeholder in the last alphabetical line with your API key.
    Note:

    Use an environment variable to avoid unintended exposure of your keys, and never commit keys directly in source files.
