Security Copilot and Sentinel MCP Server
LocalAbout Security Copilot and Sentinel MCP Server
Security Copilot and Sentinel MCP Server is a Python MCP server built with FastMCP. It connects Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Security Copilot through Azure Identity authentication. It is aimed at developers building and deploying Security Copilot skills and plugins, particularly KQL skills.
Key features
- 01Runs KQL queries against a Sentinel workspace
- 02Lists Security Copilot skillsets
- 03Uploads or updates skillsets and plugins
- 04Runs prompts or skills in Security Copilot
Use cases
- 01Developing, testing and deploying Security Copilot KQL skills
- 02Running Sentinel queries from an MCP client
- 03Uploading plugins from a development environment to Security Copilot
MCP support
The project runs as an MCP server using SSE transport. It exposes the tools run_sentinel_query, get_skillsets, upload_plugin and run_prompt to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMESecurity Copilot and Sentinel MCP Server
A Python-based MCP server using FastMCP library that provides integration with Microsoft Security Copilot and Microsoft Sentinel using Azure Identity Authentication.

Overview
This project implements an MCP server that enables:
- Running KQL queries against Microsoft Sentinel
- Uploading/Updating Microsoft Security Copilot skillsets/plugins
- Running prompts and skills in Microsoft Security Copilot
The server acts as a bridge between development environments and Microsoft Security Copilot, allowing for testing, deployment, and execution of skills and plugins. It uses SSE as transport layer for the MCP server. There are many use cases for the current integration. One of the most interesting ones is to support the development, test and deployment of Security Copilot KQL Skills.

Features
- Sentinel Integration: Execute KQL queries against your Sentinel workspace
- Security Copilot Management:
- List existing skillsets/plugins
- Upload new or update existing skillsets/plugins
- Run prompts or skills within Security Copilot
- Authentication Support: Multiple authentication methods including interactive browser, client secret, and managed identity
Roadmap
The next features will include:
- Promptbook test and Update
- Run Advance Hunting queries in Defender XDR
Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- Microsoft Sentinel workspace
- Microsoft Security Copilot access
- Appropriate Azure permissions for Sentinel and Security Copilot
Installation
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/jguimera/SecurityCopilotMCPServer.git cd SecurityCopilotMCPServer -
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt -
Create a
.envfile with the following configuration:#Add App Reg to use ClientID and Secret authentication #AZURE_TENANT_ID=your_tenant_id #AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id #AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret SENTINEL_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=your_subscription_id SENTINEL_RESOURCE_GROUP=your_resource_group SENTINEL_WORKSPACE_NAME=your_workspace_name SENTINEL_WORKSPACE_ID=your_workspace_id #Authentication Options: interactive, client_secret AUTHENTICATION_TYPE=interactive
Usage
Starting the Server
Run the MCP server:
python server.py
To run tests before starting the server:
python server.py --run-tests
Available Tools
The MCP server provides the following tools:
- run_sentinel_query: Execute KQL queries in Sentinel
- get_skillsets: List skillsets in Security Copilot
- upload_plugin: Upload or update a skillset/plugin
- run_prompt: Run a prompt or skill in Security Copilot
MCP Client Config for Cursor
You can use this MCP server from the Client of your choice. In this repo you can find intructions and config files for Cursor.
Add the .cursor folder inside your client project to enable the MCP tools. This folder contains two files:
- Cursor Project Rules (securitycopilotdev.mdc): This file include some Custom Cursor Rules to help the agents in the process definition and understanding user prompts.
- MCP Client Configuration (mcp.json): File that connects Cursor to the MCP server.
You can invoke the tool directly using /tool_name parameter1="Value of the tool parameter" For example: /run_prompt content="List the most recent risky users"

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
