Security Center MCP Server

The Security Center API provides programmatic access to the Microsoft.

Quick Start Summary

The Security Center MCP server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that connects AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot — to the Security Center API through natural language. It exposes 4 API endpoints as callable tools, such as Assessments_Get, Assessments_CreateOrUpdate, Assessments_Delete, and more. No authentication is required — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server uses STDIO transport and can be installed by running npx -y @mcp/azure-com-security-assessments. This integration is sourced from the auto Security Center OpenAPI specification (v2019-01-01-preview) and has a quality score of 28/99 (fair documentation coverage).

📖 Detailed MCP Integration Guide

A technical breakdown of capabilities, agent workflows, and security/configuration best practices.

⚡Capabilities & Use Cases
The Security Center API provides programmatic access to the Microsoft.Security resource provider, serving as the foundational interface for interacting with Azure Security Center's assessment capabilities. At its core, this API enables the retrieval, creation, and deletion of security assessments associated with specific Azure resources, identified by their resource ID and assessment name. It also supports listing all assessments applicable within a given scope, which could be a subscription, management group, or individual resource. This functionality is essential for enterprise environments where security posture management, compliance verification, and automated remediation are critical. Organizations leverage this API to integrate security insights directly into their operational tooling, such as CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code deployments, and automated compliance reporting systems. By abstracting the security assessment lifecycle, it empowers teams to maintain a dynamic view of their security health and enforce policies programmatically rather than through manual portal checks.
🤖AI Agent Value
When exposed as tools to an AI coding assistant via the Model Context Protocol, this API transforms into a powerful asset for intelligent security automation and context-aware development. An AI agent equipped with these tools can directly query and manipulate security assessment data within a developer's workspace, bridging the gap between code and cloud security posture. For instance, during development, the AI could fetch current assessment status for a resource being modified to highlight potential security regressions before code is committed. It could also automate the remediation of common findings by updating assessment metadata or triggering corrective actions, effectively acting as a co-pilot for secure infrastructure development. This integration allows the AI to reason over live security telemetry, enabling it to provide recommendations that are not only syntactically correct but also aligned with the organization's current security state and compliance requirements.
💬Example Workflows
In practical workflows, a developer could instruct the AI agent to perform several dynamic tasks to streamline security operations. For example, one might command, "Query all failed security assessments for the database server in our production environment and generate a summary of the critical findings," allowing the AI to fetch the data, analyze it, and produce a actionable report. Another task could be, "Create a new security assessment for the newly deployed application gateway to validate its WAF configuration," enabling the AI to programmatically register the assessment and monitor its progress. Furthermore, an instruction like, "Automate the documentation update by fetching the current compliance assessment for our subscription and embedding its results into the README file," demonstrates how the AI can ensure documentation stays synchronized with live security configurations, reducing manual overhead and improving accuracy.
🛡️Security & Auth
While the current specification notes "None" for authentication, in a practical enterprise deployment, interacting with the Security Center API requires robust security measures. Developers integrating this server must configure it with appropriate Azure Active Directory credentials, typically a service principal or managed identity, adhering to the principle of least privilege. This identity should be granted only the specific roles needed, such as "Security Reader" for querying assessments or "Security Admin" for modifying them, ensuring it cannot perform actions beyond the necessary scope. All API calls should be made over HTTPS, and sensitive data within assessment results must be handled securely, avoiding exposure in logs or client-side storage. It is also critical to implement proper error handling and to regularly audit the permissions and activity logs associated with the service principal to maintain a secure and compliant integration environment.

Access Analyzer MCP Setup

The AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer API provides a powerful, policy-as-code service that automatically identifies resources accessible from outside your AWS account or organization. At its core, the service continuously evaluates resource-based policies—such as Amazon S3 bucket policies, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, Amazon KMS key policies, and AWS Lambda function policies—using logic-based reasoning to determine which resources grant access to unknown external principals. Its primary use case is for security and compliance teams within enterprises to proactively detect unintended data exposure, enforce least privilege principles, and audit cross-account and cross-service access. The API endpoints allow programmatic control to create, configure, and query analyzers, manage archive rules for storing findings, and generate custom policy documents, making it a foundational tool for automating cloud security posture management at scale.
