About Elastic Security MCP Server
Connect your Elastic Security (SIEM) deployment to any AI agent and take full control of your threat detection and SOC auditing through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers Elastic Security as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly — ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Elastic Security data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Detection Rule Orchestration — List all configured detection rules and retrieve exact EQL or KQL statements to map MITRE ATT&CK coverage natively
- Live Alert Auditing — Search raw generated security signals (alerts) consolidating hostname, user profiles, and IP geolocations into a single view
- Rule Lifecycle Management — Create new custom log detection rules or irreversibly purge custom logic from the Kibana SIEM engine to tune your environment
- Exception & Whitelisting — List global exception lists and whitelist hostnames inside existing containers to resolve false positives and noise in real-time
- Threat Intel Verification — Search for specific rules by name, tag, or MITRE tactic to expedite SOC auditing for newly reported CVEs or ransomware
- State Control — Enable or disable existing detection rules to manage noisy triggers across large organizational units seamlessly
- System Health Checks — Verify if official Elastic prepackaged rules need updates to ensure lack of latest official threat models is addressed
The Elastic Security MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Claude Code with the Elastic Security MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with Elastic Security through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly — no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Elastic Security tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Elastic Security + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the Elastic Security MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed Elastic Security tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query Elastic Security nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe Elastic Security outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Elastic Security status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Elastic Security MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Elastic Security to Claude Code via MCP:
add_exception
name value to the target exception container, implicitly ignoring telemetry matched on this field for any rule bound to the list. Use explicitly to resolve false positives. Whitelist a hostname inside an existing Exception List
create_rule
Defines immediate risk scores multiplying against asset valuations, generating Elastic Signals tracking MITRE TTPs upon match. Create a new Log Detection Rule tracking malicious Elastic telemetry
delete_rule
Cannot be applied to Elastic Pre-built rules which are managed globally via package updates. Irreversible. Hard-delete a custom Elastic detection rule completely
find_detection_rules
Expedites SOC auditing when evaluating coverage for newly reported CVEs or specific localized threats. Search for specific Elastic rules by name, tag or MITRE tactic
get_prepackaged_rules_status
Identifies if the environment is lacking the latest official threat models targeting Windows, Linux, and Cloud environments. Check if official Elastic prepackaged rules need updates
get_rule
Displays run intervals, severity assignment, index scopes, and explicit reference URLs matching threat intel reports. Get exact details, intervals, and query logic for a distinct Rule
list_detection_rules
g., logs-endpoint*, winlogbeat*). Vital for mapping MITRE ATT&CK coverage against the Elastic schema. List all detection rules configured within the Elastic SIEM
list_exceptions
These lists logically bypass specific rules, preventing SIEM alerts from triggering on known-good administrative behavior like vulnerability scanners. List global exception lists managing detection bypass logic
search_signals
Signals consolidate the triggering payload structure, enriching it with Hostname, User profiles, IP geolocations, and process trees. Search raw generated Elastic Security alerts (Signals)
update_rule
Used explicitly to disable noisy rules triggering false positives across large organizational units, or to re-enable them post-tuning. Enable or Disable an existing Elastic Detection Rule
Example Prompts for Elastic Security in Claude Code
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Claude Code agent to start working with Elastic Security immediately.
"Show me all active detection rules tagged with 'Ransomware'"
"Add hostname 'dev-machine-01' to exception list 'global-whitelist'"
"Search for security signals from user 'admin_root' in the last hour"
