FortiAppSec MCP Server

MCP server for managing Fortinet FortiAppSec (WAF as a Service) via AI agents. Built with FastMCP, deployed as a container.

Tools

Tool	Description
waf_list_applications	List all WAF applications
waf_get_application	Get details of a specific WAF application
waf_create_application	Create a new WAF application
waf_delete_application	Delete a WAF application
waf_list_templates	List available WAF templates

Every tool accepts an optional appsec_api_key parameter. If not provided, the server reads from the FORTINET_APPSEC_API_KEY environment variable. Per-call parameter overrides the environment variable.
