Rapid7 MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Rapid7 InsightIDR log querying capabilities through AI assistants.

Features

• Query Rapid7 InsightIDR logs using natural language through AI assistants

• Support for time-based log filtering with ISO8601 datetime format

• Configurable pagination and logset targeting

• Optional query filtering with LEQL (Log Entry Query Language)

• Automatic datetime conversion from ISO8601 to UNIX timestamps

• List available logsets and query by name

• Poll running query status

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Testing (TLDR)

# Run all tests
npm test

Tests use mocked API calls - no real API keys needed.

Configuration

You'll need:

• A valid Rapid7 InsightIDR API key

• Access to the Rapid7 EU region (or modify the URL for other regions)

• The logset ID you want to query (or use the listRapid7Logsets tool to discover them)

MCP Client Configuration

To use this server with MCP-compatible applications, you need to configure them with the server path and required environment variables.

Environment Variables

• RAPID7_API_KEY: Your Rapid7 InsightIDR API key (required)

• RAPID7_BASE_URL: The Rapid7 API base URL (optional, defaults to EU region)

Configuration Example

Add this configuration to your MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rapid7": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/rapid7-mcp-server/mcp-server.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "RAPID7_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "RAPID7_BASE_URL": "https://eu.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Regional Configuration

For different Rapid7 regions, update the RAPID7_BASE_URL:

• EU: https://eu.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com (default)

• US: https://us.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com

• CA: https://ca.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com

• AU: https://au.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com

• AP: https://ap.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com

Security Notes

• Never commit your API key to version control

• Store API keys securely using your system's credential management

• Consider using environment variables or secure vaults for production deployments

• Ensure your API key has appropriate permissions for log querying

Usage

Running the Server

node mcp-server.js

Using with MCP Inspector

For testing and development:

npm run inspector

Available Tools

1. queryRapid7Logset

Query Rapid7 logs with specified parameters for an entire log set using logset ID.

Parameters

{
  "from": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z",
  "to": "2024-01-15T11:00:00Z",
  "perPage": 50,
  "logsetId": "your-logset-id",
  "query": "where(source_ip=192.168.1.1)"
}

2. queryRapid7LogsetByName

Query Rapid7 logs with specified parameters for a logset identified by name instead of ID.

Parameters

• logsetName (string, required): Name of the logset to query

• from (string, required): Start datetime in ISO8601 format (e.g., "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z")

{
  "logsetName": "Security Events",
  "from": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z",
  "to": "2024-01-15T11:00:00Z",
  "perPage": 100,
  "query": "where(\"failed login\", loose)"
}

3. listRapid7Logsets

List all available Rapid7 log sets in your account. Useful for discovering logset names and IDs.

Parameters

None required.

Example Usage

{}

Response

Returns a list of all available logsets with their IDs, names, and descriptions.

4. pollRapid7Query

Poll the status of a running Rapid7 log query using its query ID. Useful for long-running queries.

Parameters

• queryId (string, required): The unique ID of the query to poll (as returned by query tools)

• timeRange (string, optional): Time range (e.g., 'last 1 day', 'last 7 days'). Defaults to 'last 1 day'

Example Usage

{
  "queryId": "query-12345-abcdef",
  "timeRange": "last 7 days"
}

Common Response Format

All tools return JSON-formatted data from Rapid7 InsightIDR, including:

• Log entries matching your criteria

• Metadata about the query execution

• Pagination information if applicable

• Query status for polling operations

Error Handling

The server includes comprehensive error handling for:

• Invalid datetime formats

• API authentication failures

• Network connectivity issues

• Malformed responses

• Empty or invalid parameters

• Missing environment variables

API Endpoints

This server connects to the Rapid7 EU REST API:

• Base URL: https://eu.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com

• Query logset by ID: /query/logsets/{logsetId}

• Query logset by name: /query/logsets

• List logsets: /management/logsets

• Poll query: /query/{queryId}

To use a different region, modify the URL in mcp-server.js.
