Wazuh MCP Server
Retrieves security alerts from Elasticsearch indices containing Wazuh data, transforming them into standardized MCP messages.
Uses Flask to expose an HTTP endpoint for serving transformed security event data to clients.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Wazuh MCP Servershow me recent critical security alerts from the last hour"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

What This Does
Your Wazuh SIEM generates thousands of alerts, vulnerability findings, and agent events daily. Investigating them means juggling dashboards, writing API queries, and manually correlating data across tools.
This MCP server turns that workflow into a conversation:
You: "Show me critical alerts from the last hour"
AI: [calls get_wazuh_alerts] Found 3 critical alerts:
1. SSH brute force from 10.0.1.45 → agent-003 (Rule 5712, Level 10)
2. Rootkit detection on agent-007 (Rule 510, Level 12)
3. FIM change /etc/shadow on agent-001 (Rule 550, Level 10)
You: "Block that source IP on agent-003"
AI: [calls wazuh_block_ip] Blocked 10.0.1.45 via firewall-drop on agent-003.
You: "Which agents have unpatched critical CVEs?"
AI: [calls get_wazuh_critical_vulnerabilities] 3 agents with critical vulnerabilities...It works with Claude Desktop, Open WebUI + Ollama (fully local, air-gapped), mcphost, or any MCP-compliant client.

Works With Cloud AND Local LLMs
This is a standard MCP tool server. It doesn't care what LLM you use — it just executes tools and returns results.
Mode | LLM | Client | Data leaves your network? |
Cloud | Claude, GPT, etc. | Claude Desktop, any MCP client | Yes (to LLM provider) |
Local | Llama, Qwen, Mistral via Ollama | Open WebUI, mcphost, IBM/mcp-cli | No. Fully air-gappable. |
For security teams that can't send SIEM data to cloud APIs (compliance, air-gapped networks, data sovereignty), the local mode with Ollama keeps everything on-premises. Both modes coexist — same server, same tools, same API.
Quick Start: Local LLM with mcphost
# 1. Start the MCP server
docker compose up -d
# 2. Install mcphost (Go binary, no dependencies)
go install github.com/mark3labs/mcphost@latest
# 3. Configure
cat > ~/.mcphost.yml << 'EOF'
mcpServers:
wazuh:
type: remote
url: http://localhost:3000/mcp
headers: ["Authorization: Bearer ${env://MCP_API_KEY}"]
EOF
# 4. Chat with your SIEM using a local model
export MCP_API_KEY="your-key-from-server-logs"
mcphost --model ollama/qwen2.5:7bQuick Start: Multi-User SOC with Open WebUI
Open WebUI v0.6.31+ connects to our /mcp endpoint natively. Add it as an MCP tool server in Admin Settings, and your entire team gets AI-powered SIEM analysis with conversation history, RBAC, and a web UI.
55 Security Tools
Every tool is validated, rate-limited, scope-checked, and audit-logged.
Category | Tools | What They Do |
Alerts (5) |
| Query, filter, search, and aggregate alert data via the Indexer. Timestamps accept ISO 8601 or relative date math ( |
Agents (6) |
| Monitor agent status, running processes, open ports, and configs |
Vulnerabilities (3) |
| Query CVEs by severity, agent, and package |
Security Analysis (6) |
| Threat analysis, IOC lookup, optional web context, risk scoring, security reports |
Compliance (6) |
| Compliance scoring for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, NIST, and ISO 27001:2022 (Annex A control mapping, gap analysis, SCA detail) |
System (10) |
| Cluster health, rules, manager logs, stats, connectivity |
Active Response (9) |
| Block IPs, isolate hosts, kill processes, quarantine files |
Verification (5) |
| Verify active response actions took effect |
Rollback (5) |
| Undo active response actions |
The 14 state-changing tools (Active Response + Rollback) require the wazuh:write scope; everything else needs only wazuh:read. ISO 27001 also adds an iso27001_assessment guided prompt (5 prompts total).

Security
This server sits between an LLM and your SIEM. Security is not optional.
Layer | What It Does |
RBAC | Per-tool scope enforcement, fail-closed: a token with no scope claim gets read-only, never write. The 14 state-changing tools (active response + rollback) require |
Audit Logging | Every destructive tool call (block IP, isolate host, kill process) is logged with client ID, session, timestamp, and full arguments. |
Output Sanitization | Credentials, tokens, and API keys in alert |
Input Validation | Every parameter validated: regex agent IDs, |
Rate Limiting | Per-principal sliding window (keyed on the authenticated client + trusted-proxy IP), with a short retry-after backoff — seconds until the oldest request leaves the window, not a fixed multi-minute block. |
Circuit Breakers | Wazuh API failures trigger fail-fast for 60s, auto-recover. Single trial in HALF_OPEN state. |
Log Sanitization | Global filter redacts passwords, tokens, secrets from all server logs. |
Container Hardening | Non-root user, read-only filesystem, |

|
| Wire format for alert/event/vulnerability results: |
Response encoding (GCF)
Alert, security-event, and vulnerability tools return uniform record collections
under a data.affected_items array. Setting RESPONSE_FORMAT=gcf encodes those
responses as a Graph Compact Format generic wire instead
of JSON, factoring the repeated field names into a single header so the response
uses fewer tokens when it crosses the LLM boundary.
It is opt-in, lossless, and every response stays complete (a format change only,
no cross-turn deduplication, so no alert is ever omitted). If encoding fails —
or the encoder isn't installed — the tool falls back to JSON. It composes with
the existing compact field-projection parameter.
The encoder is one zero-dependency package (pinned exact). Install it directly, or via the
gcf extra from a source checkout:
pip install gcf-python==2.5.1 # direct
pip install ".[gcf]" # or, from a clone of this repoProduction note: the server listens over plain HTTP — terminate TLS at a reverse proxy or load balancer. OAuth knobs (
OAUTH_ENABLE_DCR— off by default,OAUTH_*_TTL) and rate-limit tuning (RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS,RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW) are in the Configuration Guide.

Full reference: Configuration Guide
Multi-Cluster (optional)
Managing several Wazuh deployments? Drop a clusters.json next to your config (see
config/clusters.json.example) and every tool gains an
optional cluster_id argument plus a list_wazuh_clusters tool:
No
clusters.json→ single-cluster behavior from env vars, exactly as before.With
clusters.json→ named clusters, each with its own Manager (and optionally Indexer) credentials;"${ENV_VAR}"values are resolved from the environment so secrets stay out of the file. The env-configured cluster remains reachable asdefault.Cross-Cluster Search → point clusters at a shared OpenSearch CCS coordinator and set
ccs_prefix(the remote-cluster name); alert/vulnerability queries becomeeu:wazuh-alerts-*. An entry with"ccs_prefix": "*"gives you anallpseudo-cluster that searches every remote cluster at once.

Combine this MCP server with Wazuh Autopilot to build an agentic Security Operations Center.
While this server gives you conversational access to Wazuh, Autopilot runs an eleven-agent AI SOC team on top of it around the clock — a seven-stage reactive pipeline (triage → correlation → investigation → response) plus four proactive specialists (vulnerability management, threat intel, threat hunting, detection engineering). Every containment action is gated behind two-tier human approval. Runs on OpenClaw, Hermes, or NVIDIA NemoClaw.
Manual SOC: Alert → Analyst reviews → Hours → Response
Agentic SOC: Alert → AI triages → Seconds → Response ready for approvalDocumentation
