Wazuh MCP Server

Talk to your SIEM. Query alerts, hunt threats, check vulnerabilities, and trigger active responses across your entire Wazuh deployment — through natural conversation with any AI assistant.

v4.2.1 | 48 security tools | Wazuh 4.8.0–4.14.4 | Changelog

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_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/qwen2.5:7b

Quick 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.

48 Security Tools

Every tool is validated, rate-limited, scope-checked, and audit-logged.

Security

This server sits between an LLM and your SIEM. Security is not optional.

Layer	What It Does
RBAC	Per-tool scope enforcement. 14 active response tools require `wazuh:write`. Read-only tokens can query but never trigger actions. Authless mode is read-only by default.
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 `full_log` fields are redacted before reaching the LLM. Prevents credential leakage through AI responses.
Input Validation	Every parameter validated: regex agent IDs, `ipaddress` module for IPs, shell metacharacter blocking for active response, Elasticsearch Query DSL (no string interpolation).
Rate Limiting	Per-client sliding window with escalating block duration (10s → 5min).
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, `CAP_DROP ALL`, `no-new-privileges`.

# Generate a secure API key
python -c "import secrets; print('wazuh_' + secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"

Take It Further: Autonomous Agentic SOC

Combine this MCP server with Wazuh OpenClaw Autopilot to build a fully autonomous Security Operations Center.

While this server gives you conversational access to Wazuh, OpenClaw deploys AI agents that work around the clock — triaging alerts, correlating incidents, and recommending responses without human intervention.

Manual SOC:    Alert → Analyst reviews → Hours → Response
Agentic SOC:   Alert → AI triages → Seconds → Response ready for approval
