How to Use the CrowdStrike Falcon MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use CrowdStrike Falcon to handle active incidents?

Cascade runs listincidents to find high-priority alerts, then automatically queries details on affected machines. It chains these steps so you see the full timeline without manual lookups.

Q: Can I isolate a machine using CrowdStrike Falcon in Windsurf?

Yes. Cascade calls the containdevice tool to quarantine any host showing active signs of compromise. You approve the action in the panel and the network connection drops in seconds.

Q: Does this CrowdStrike Falcon MCP Server allow Windsurf to modify my security policies?

No. This MCP setup only modifies specific indicators via createioc and updates alert statuses through updatedetection. Your broader Falcon prevention policies remain locked down and untouched.

Q: How do I check for CVEs on my endpoints?

Cascade uses listvulnerabilities to search Spotlight for active CVEs on your systems. It correlates these vulnerabilities with the hosts it finds through searchhosts.

Stop context-switching during incidents. Windsurf chains Falcon tool calls to isolate threats and query vulnerabilities instantly.

Automate incident triage with Windsurf Cascade

Cascade executes `list_incidents` to pull your active security alerts and maps out the attack path without you lifting a finger. It looks at the severity, identifies the affected hosts, and groups them by priority. Once the threat is clear, Cascade uses `list_detections` to grab specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques associated with those alerts. You get a clear picture of the breach while your editor builds the remediation plan.

Isolate compromised endpoints instantly

The `contain_device` tool lets Windsurf cut off compromised hosts from the network before malware spreads. Cascade runs this action automatically when a high-severity alert pops up in your workspace. To make sure no other machines are vulnerable, the agent triggers `search_hosts` to find matching OS versions across your fleet. You stop the bleeding first, then inspect the damage.

Feed threat intelligence directly to this MCP Server

The `create_ioc` tool registers new indicators of compromise like SHA256 hashes or malicious IPs directly from your active code window. If you find a suspicious file in your repository, Windsurf registers it as a threat immediately. This MCP Server also lets Cascade run `list_iocs` to double-check existing rules against your current environment. You maintain your defenses without leaving your coding session.

Setup guide

Set up CrowdStrike Falcon MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the CrowdStrike Falcon MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my CrowdStrike Falcon payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the CrowdStrike Falcon tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
