Proofpoint Essentials MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Proofpoint Essentials API. Enables AI assistants to manage MSP-multi-tenant email security: organizations, domains, users, licensing, features, subscription packages, and email flow reporting.

This is a distinct product/API from Proofpoint TAP (see proofpoint-mcp for TAP threat intelligence, quarantine, and URL defense) — Essentials is Proofpoint's SMB/MSP email-security product, with its own base URL, auth model, and org-management surface.

Part of the WYRE AI MCP fleet — a growing suite of AI integrations for the MSP stack.

Installation

npm install @wyre-ai/proofpoint-essentials-mcp

Related MCP server: Mailcow MCP Server

• proofpoint_essentials_org_set_active — activate/deactivate an org ⚠ high-impact
