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.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Elastic Security tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
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 Cline 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 Cline with the Elastic Security MCP Server
Cline provides unique advantages when paired with Elastic Security through the Model Context Protocol.
Cline operates autonomously — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including MCP tool calls without step-by-step prompts
Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
Elastic Security + Cline Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cline combined with the Elastic Security MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Autonomous feature building: tell Cline to fetch data from Elastic Security and scaffold a complete module with types, handlers, and tests
Codebase refactoring: use Elastic Security tools to validate live data while Cline restructures your code to match updated schemas
Automated testing: Cline fetches real responses from Elastic Security and generates snapshot tests or mocks based on actual payloads
Incident response: query Elastic Security for real-time status and let Cline generate hotfix patches based on the findings
Elastic Security MCP Tools for Cline (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Elastic Security to Cline 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 Cline
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cline 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"
