Wazuh MCP Server

206 tools that expose the Wazuh Security Platform as Model Context Protocol tools for Claude, Claude Code and any MCP-compatible client.

The server covers the full Wazuh Manager REST API (agents, rules, cluster, RBAC, FIM, SCA, MITRE…) plus a SOC layer that queries the Wazuh Indexer directly for alerts, CVEs and threat analysis, and a SOAR layer for active response (block IPs, isolate agents, kill processes, run YARA scans).

Quick start

git clone <repo-url>
cd wazuh-mcp

make install                 # create .venv and install the package
cp .env.example .env         # fill in WAZUH_USER / WAZUH_PASSWORD

make certs                   # generate SSL certificates (first time only)
make docker-up               # start manager + indexer + dashboard

source .venv/bin/activate
make setup-claude-desktop    # register the MCP in Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop and try:

Call ping_wazuh and tell me the Wazuh version that is running.

On Linux you must set vm.max_map_count=262144 before make docker-up. See Installation for details.

Full walkthrough: docs/installation.md.
