Overview

What is Kibana MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Kibana Security, enabling AI assistants to manage security alerts, detection rules, and exception lists programmatically.

How to use Kibana MCP Server?

Clone the repository, build the Docker image, set environment variables (KIBANA_URL plus either KIBANA_API_KEY or KIBANA_USERNAME/KIBANA_PASSWORD), then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to run the container. Alternatively, run locally with uv sync and uv run kibana-mcp.

Key features of Kibana MCP Server

  • Fetch security alerts via get_alerts
  • Tag alerts with tag_alert
  • Change alert status (open/acknowledged/closed)
  • Search detection rules with find_rules
  • Retrieve and add rule exception items
  • Create and associate shared exception lists

Use cases of Kibana MCP Server

  • Automating alert triage from an AI chat interface
  • Bulk updating alert statuses during incident response
  • Adding exception rules to suppress known false positives
  • Orchestrating rule management across multiple Kibana instances

Frequently asked questions

1

What authentication methods are supported?

You can authenticate using either a Kibana API key (recommended) or a username/password combination.

2

How do I configure the server for my MCP client?

Set `KIBANA_URL` and your credentials as environment variables, then add a Docker-based MCP server entry in your client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop or Cursor). Direct credentials in the args are also supported.

3

Can I run the server locally without Docker?

Yes. Install dependencies with `uv sync`, set the required environment variables, and start the server with `uv run kibana-mcp`.

4

Is there a test environment provided?

Yes. The repository includes a `testing/quickstart-test-env.sh` script that starts a local Kibana/Elasticsearch instance preloaded with test data.

5

What tools does the server expose?

Eight tools: `get_alerts`, `tag_alert`, `adjust_alert_status`, `find_rules`, `get_rule_exceptions`, `add_rule_exception_items`, `create_exception_list`, and `associate_shared_exception_list`.
