What is the CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server?
Connect your CyberArk Privilege Cloud account to any AI agent and take full control of your identity security and privileged access management through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Safe Orchestration — List secure Safes and retrieve intricate settings including retention periods and assigned Central Policy Managers (CPM)
- Privileged Account Management — Enumerate vaulted credentials (Root, Administrator, Service Accounts) and audit rotational statuses and address mappings
- Password Retrieval (Check-out) — Pull actual secrets from the Vault with mandatory audited justifications, allowing the agent to securely retrieve credentials for incident response
- Identity Oversight — List internal and LDAP-mapped directory users and groups to verify PAM logical access architectures and RBAC rules
- Session Control — Forcibly terminate active PSM/PSMP privileged sessions instantly as an active incident response mechanism
- Vault Onboarding — Provision new privileged accounts into secure Safes by mapping them to specific platform IDs for automated rotation lifecycle management
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your CyberArk Subdomain and your Bearer access_token (generated via a Service User client_credentials flow)
- Start managing your privileged access from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security Analysts & SOC — monitor privileged account status and terminate suspicious sessions in real-time
- IT Administrators — onboard new service accounts and manage safe configurations without navigating the PVWA interface
- Auditors & Compliance — list users, groups, and account properties to verify organizational security policies
- DevOps Engineers — retrieve temporary credentials for automated maintenance tasks with full audit logging
Built-in capabilities (10)
Requires precise mapping to an underlying Platform ID (e.g., WinDesktopLocal, UnixSSH) which dictates how CyberArk rotates and verifies the credential moving forward. Provision a new privileged account into a Vault Safe
Requires high authorization. Used during system decommissioning so the CPM stops attempting failed password rotations. Delete a privileged account from the CyberArk Vault
Necessary before rotating or interacting with an account. Get detailed properties for a specific vaulted account
Get details and metadata for a specific PAM Safe
These represent highly sensitive credentials (Root, Administrator, Service Accounts). Includes the bounding platform, Safe allocation, address, and rotational status. Use the search string to narrow targets. Search and list privileged accounts vaulted in CyberArk
Permissions to Safes are canonically granted to Groups rather than individual users to enforce RBAC best practices. Used to verify PAM logical access architectures. List CyberArk Vault User Groups
Safes are the fundamental logical containers separating credentials physically and logically. Required to locate where specific critical tier-0 credentials or local admin passwords reside. List all secure Safes in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager
Identifies active vault administrators, auditors, and human end-users consuming PSM (Privileged Session Manager) sessions. List all CyberArk users (local and synchronized)
Highly audited endpoint triggering SIEM alerts. A justification reason is mandatory. After retrieval, exclusive access platforms may lock the credential until check-in or auto-rotation. Retrieve the clear-text password for an account (check-out)
Used as an active incident response mechanism if a SOC analyst or anomalous behavior engine detects unauthorized actions mid-session. Forcibly terminate an active Privileged Session (PSM/PSMP)
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns CyberArk Privilege Cloud into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from CyberArk Privilege Cloud and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent retrieve a privileged password for an emergency maintenance task?
Yes. Use the 'retrieve_password' tool. You must provide the account ID and a justification reason. The agent pulls the secret from the Vault, and the action is fully audited in CyberArk's system logs for compliance.
How do I terminate a suspicious active session via the agent?
Provide the session ID to the 'terminate_session' tool. The agent will dispatch an instant interrupt signal to the CyberArk platform, killing the live SSH or RDP session immediately to prevent unauthorized actions.
Is it possible to add new service accounts to a Safe through chat?
Absolutely. Use the 'add_account' tool. You'll need to specify the account name, address, username, platform ID, and the destination Safe. Your agent will onboard the credential and link it to the CPM for automated rotation.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
