How to Probe Security Headers with Copilot

Check security headers in your IDE with Copilot and ToolRouter.

Tool
Security HTTPx icon
Security HTTPx

Copilot integrates HTTP service probing directly into your development environment, letting you audit security headers and discover exposed services without leaving your IDE. After probing your hosts, ask Copilot to generate the exact middleware, nginx config, or CDN rules needed to fix header issues. This code-first approach to security means fixes go directly into your codebase and get reviewed in pull requests alongside feature work.

Connect ToolRouter to Copilot

1In your agent, go to Tools → Add a tool → New tool
2Choose Model Context Protocol and enter these details
Server name
ToolRouter
Server description

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Security HTTPx tool:

  1. In Copilot Chat: "Probe security headers on my domains" and list them
  2. Copilot scans and returns header findings
  3. Ask: "Add security headers to my Express middleware"
  4. Apply the header middleware directly in your code

Example Prompt

Try this with Copilot using the Security HTTPx tool
Check security headers on my staging server and then add the missing ones to my Express application.

Tips

  • Copilot can add the helmet middleware with proper configuration for all security headers
  • Test headers in development to catch issues before deployment
  • Different routes may need different CSP configurations -- Copilot can help set that up
