rosslhon An MCP which pulls together vulnerability data from over 20 security databases

I found this project which seems super useful: a production-grade MCP server giving Claude 27 security intelligence tools across 21 APIs — CVE lookup, EPSS scoring, CISA KEV, MITRE ATT&CK, Shodan, VirusTotal, and more.

> not being able to center text no matter how much frontend experience we have
