What is the Trend Micro MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent exclusively to your Trend Micro Vision One security infrastructure. Bypass complex SIEM dashboards and interact directly with high-fidelity telemetry, XDR active detections, and structural security alerts utilizing only natural language. Allow your SOC analysts to extract network observables, check suspicious URLs, or isolate a machine's activity dynamically without writing API scripts.
What you can do
- Alert Management — Directly list active structural security alerts and dive unconditionally into specific
alert_idmetadata to evaluate impact - Endpoint Scanning — Identify and extract details connecting telemetry to physical devices by listing all your deployed and managed endpoints (Assets)
- Threat Intelligence — Query live active indicators of compromise (IoC) mapped as suspicious objects (IPs, URLs, Files) present in your network sphere
- Forensic Logs — Instruct your AI to hunt detailed logs surrounding targeted email workflows or deep endpoint process activities
- Raw Detections — Observe XDR broad-level threats and raw detections that haven't been forcefully promoted to an active alert status yet
How it works
- Enable this connector into your organizational workspace
- Provide your secure API Key specifically generated inside your Vision One console, alongside your specific AWS/Cloud region code
- Engage your virtual assistant requesting immediate status on your domain's health
Who is this for?
- SOC Analysts — Accelerate incident response times gathering associated observables and forensic logs through an orchestrated conversation
- Security IT Engineers — Validate whether a newly deployed endpoint was accurately tracked and successfully integrated strictly via terminal command
- Threat Hunters — Instantly recall the list of untrusted, blacklisted URLs intercepting external phishing campaigns or lateral movement attempts

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Trend Micro data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 8 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
How do I securely obtain my Trend Micro API Key?
Establish a secure connection as an administrator towards either your Vision One or Cloud One portal environment. On the overarching menu frame, hover explicitly down to the Administration section followed sequentially by User Roles or API Key Management modules. Generate a new valid role-based cryptographic string ensuring Threat Investigation boundaries. Transport the copied result fully intact.
What format is required for the TRENDMICRO_REGION property?
Your particular Trend Micro tenant is physically mapped to certain global cloud datacenters (like AWS clusters). It expects valid identifier strings specifically such as us-east-1 (US base), eu-central-1 (Europe), or instances like ap-northeast-1 among others. Consult your local admin portal URL structure if uncertain before submitting.
Should I secure my Trend Micro API Key?
Yes. Most Trend Micro consoles display the API key or secret only once immediately after generation. Copy and save it in a secure location (such as a password manager), and treat it like a password by assigning the principle of least privilege.
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.
