Learn how the ThreatModeler Nexus MCP Server brings threat modeling into the flow of modern, AI-assisted development. Starting from zero (no prior knowledge of MCP required) this course explains what a Model Context Protocol server is, why it exists, and how ThreatModeler Nexus uses it to plug governed security intelligence directly into the tools your teams already work in.

    No prior knowledge of MCP is required, the course builds the concept from zero.

    Learning Objective

    By the end of the course, learners will be able to:

    • Explain what an MCP server is and why it's needed even though APIs already exist
    • Describe how the ThreatModeler Nexus MCP Server works, and the division of labor between AI agents and ThreatModeler as the authoritative System of Record
    • Install, authenticate, and connect the server across Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code, and create a threat model through natural-language prompts
    • Identify the available tools and skills, and troubleshoot the most common setup issues
    • Recognize which of the four use cases, IDE-based modeling, document-based modeling, CI/CD "invisible security," and cross-project portfolio analysis, applies to a given team or workflow
