What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Kibana Host, Port, and Elastic API Key (found in Kibana > Stack Management > Security > API Keys)
- Start managing your SIEM operations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- SOC Analysts — monitor security alerts and audit detection rules without leaving the chat interface
- Security Engineers — create and update detection logic and manage exception lists using natural language
- CISO & Incident Responders — quickly search for signals and verify threat coverage during active investigations
- DevOps Teams — monitor SIEM health and verify prepackaged rule update statuses in real-time
Built-in capabilities (10)
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
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
Cannot be applied to Elastic Pre-built rules which are managed globally via package updates. Irreversible. Hard-delete a custom Elastic detection rule completely
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
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
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
g., logs-endpoint*, winlogbeat*). Vital for mapping MITRE ATT&CK coverage against the Elastic schema. List all detection rules configured within the Elastic SIEM
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
Signals consolidate the triggering payload structure, enriching it with Hostname, User profiles, IP geolocations, and process trees. Search raw generated Elastic Security alerts (Signals)
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

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent list all detection rules currently active in my SIEM?
Yes. Use the 'list_detection_rules' tool. It returns both custom rules and Elastic prepackaged ML algorithms, which is vital for mapping your MITRE ATT&CK coverage.
How do I whitelist a hostname to resolve a false positive via chat?
Use the 'add_exception' mutation. Provide the Exception List ID and the hostname string. The agent will update the container, implicitly ignoring telemetry matched on this host for any bound rule.
Can I search for security alerts (Signals) using KQL through the agent?
Absolutely. The 'search_signals' tool allows you to retrieve critical alert logs. You can provide an optional KQL query to filter for specific users, hostnames, or process trees within your security telemetry.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
