What is the Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP Server?
Connect your Lacework (FortiCNAPP) account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud security posture and threat hunting through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Alert Orchestration — Search and retrieve deep behavioral telemetry for security alerts, identifying anomalous Kubernetes executions or AWS IAM brute-forcing attempts directly from your agent
- Vulnerability Management — List critical CVEs executing on cloud hosts and monitor static image vulnerabilities in your container registries (ECR, DockerHub)
- Emergency Incident Response — Instantly search your entire infrastructure for specific CVE exposure (e.g., Log4j) to identify vulnerable nodes during zero-day events
- Asset Inventory Audit — Query the real-time cloud control-plane to enumerate running instances, unrestricted S3 buckets, and active networking perimeters
- Threat Hunting (LQL) — Execute specialized Lacework Query Language (LQL) requests to analyze vast datasets for anomalous login patterns or API key abuse
- Compliance Monitoring — List and audit global cloud security policies to ensure your infrastructure remains within regulatory and organizational norms
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Lacework Account, Key ID, and Secret
- Start monitoring your cloud security from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security Analysts — hunt for threats and investigate polygraph alerts through natural conversation without manual dashboard filtering
- DevOps & SREs — monitor container and host vulnerabilities to ensure only secure images are promoted through the CI/CD pipeline

Built-in capabilities (10)
Produces bespoke output matrices tracking API keys bypassing IAM logic, anomalous login patterns, or Kubernetes process spawn trees. Execute an LQL Threat Hunting Query on-demand
Extracts precisely what baseline behavior was deviated from, providing deep contextual metadata such as explicit AWS Accounts involved, offending Container Image SHAs, and correlated external IP anomalies. Get exact behavioral payloads and telemetry for an Alert
Examines ECR/DockerHub registries or direct cluster deployments for images carrying critical inherited CVEs at the filesystem level before CI/CD promotion blocks. List static image vulnerabilities detected in Container Registries
Identifies running processes strictly matched against Critical or High CVEs (e.g., Log4j, Polkit) directly active inside EC2 or GCE instances. List known vulnerabilities executing natively on Cloud Hosts/VMs

Helps define what constitutes "Production" vs "Staging" in Policy evaluation engines. List logical Resource Groups managing Lacework architectures
Confirms whether Lacework will alert directly if an engineer violates structural norms (e.g., exposing port 22 directly to 0.0.0.0/0). List all global Cloud Security Policies enforced by Lacework
Fetches events mapping to anomalous Kubernetes executions, AWS IAM brute-forcing attempts, and massive container network exfiltrations spanning the specified time filter. Search Cloud Security alerts dynamically across Lacework
Used to dynamically enumerate running instances, active networking perimeters, or unrestricted S3 buckets discovered by cross-account role polling. Query the real-time Lacework Cloud Control-Plane Asset Inventory
Directly filters the entire cloud infrastructure footprint determining exactly which specific nodes (Machines) are currently vulnerable to the designated CVE (e.g. "CVE-2026-0001"). Search all integrated Machines/Instances for a specific CVE

Frequently asked questions
Can I search for specific CVE exposure across my whole cloud environment?
Yes. Use the search_cve_exposure tool and provide the official CVE ID (e.g. CVE-2023-1234). Your agent will filter the entire cloud footprint to determine exactly which specific nodes or machines are currently vulnerable.
How do I investigate the behavioral telemetry of a specific security alert?
The get_alert tool extracts precisely what baseline behavior was deviated from for a specific Alert ID. Your agent will return detailed contextual metadata, including offending container SHAs and correlated IP anomalies.
Can my agent run custom threat hunting queries using LQL?
Absolutely. Use the execute_query tool to run specialized Lacework Query Language (LQL) blocks. This allows your agent to perform complex mathematical analysis on cloud telemetry to identify deep security patterns.
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.
