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
- Compliance Officers — audit security policies and unrestricted cloud assets to maintain a robust organizational security posture
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
These extract precise cloud telemetry fields mapping user-defined compliance checks directly against the underlying dataset. List all Lacework Query Language (LQL) structures
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
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) 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 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.
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.
