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
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Elastic Security data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
