DAST 2026.8.2
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite DAST 2026.8.2 on 27 August 2026, adding an MCP server that lets AI clients such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor connect to scans and issues using an API key. The release also makes Burp AI generally available for purchase on Cloud deployments, off by default on every new site, and adds configurable SAML and LDAP group attribute mapping.
Why it matters: The MCP server is enabled by default and lets an AI client start or cancel scans and update issue statuses, so the API key becomes a direct path into your scanning workflow even though changing actions require confirmation.
