# How to Assess Severity Scores with Claude

Claude goes beyond raw CVSS scores by analyzing the full attack vector, weighing exploitability against your specific deployment, and producing a contextual priority ranking. It can break down each CVSS component, compare severity across your vulnerability backlog, and help you build a remediation plan ordered by actual risk rather than generic scores.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Assess the severity of these CVEs using vulnerability-database" and provide the IDs
3. Claude retrieves severity scores and provides a prioritized assessment
4. Ask Claude to rank them considering your deployment context

## Example Prompt

```
Assess the severity of CVE-2024-1234, CVE-2024-5678, and CVE-2024-9012. Rank them by urgency for our internet-facing web application.
```

## Tips

- Ask Claude to explain the CVSS vector components for each vulnerability
- Request a contextual risk assessment based on your specific deployment
- Use severity assessments to justify patching priorities to engineering teams
