What is the CrowdSec MCP Server?
Connect your CrowdSec security engine to any AI agent to take full control of your threat intelligence and network defense through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Local Decisions — Query your Local API (LAPI) for active blocks or decisions on specific IPs, ranges, or scopes to understand current local threats.
- Decision Streaming — Poll for real-time updates on new and deleted decisions from your local database to keep your security context synchronized.
- Global CTI Reputation — Fetch global IP reputation data, behaviors, and classifications from the CrowdSec Community Threat Intelligence (CTI) network.
- Security Auditing — Inspect metadata and classifications for suspicious actors directly from your command interface or code editor.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your CrowdSec LAPI URL, LAPI Key, and CTI Key
- Start managing your security posture from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual log diving or complex CLI commands to check if an IP is malicious. Your AI acts as a dedicated security analyst.
Who is this for?
- Security Engineers — instantly retrieve local decision statuses and global reputation metrics without leaving the terminal
- DevOps Teams — monitor security streams and verify IP behaviors during incident response directly from the IDE
- System Administrators — automate the auditing of blocked ranges and suspicious network activity through natural language

Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a specific IP address is currently blocked in my local CrowdSec instance?
Yes! Use the get_decisions tool providing the IP address. Your agent will query your Local API and return any active decisions, including the reason and duration of the block.
How do I see the latest security threats detected by my server in real-time?
You can use the get_decisions_stream tool. This allows your agent to poll for new and deleted decisions, giving you a clear view of recent security activity on your infrastructure.
Can I verify an IP's global reputation even if it hasn't attacked my server yet?
Absolutely. The get_cti_smoke tool queries the global CrowdSec CTI network. It provides background information, attack behaviors, and risk scores for any IP based on community data.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
