Vectra AI, Inc., a global leader in AI-driven cybersecurity, has announced the launch of Vectra AI MCP Server — an innovative solution that enables security professionals to access the power of the Vectra AI Platform through AI assistants such as Claude Desktop or Cursor.

AI Assistant for Security Investigations

Instead of dealing with complex technical interfaces and large datasets, analysts can ask simple, natural language questions (e.g., “Show suspicious user activity on the network from the past 24 hours”) — and receive structured results or even automatically generated reports.

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI models to securely connect to external data sources and tools.

In other words, MCP is a “bridge” between the AI assistant and enterprise systems. Thanks to this standard, AI can:

receive up-to-date information directly from security platforms,
eliminate the need for complex integrations or custom connectors,
operate in real time using enterprise data.

With Vectra AI, MCP enables interactive access to deep threat analytics generated by the platform — directly through an AI assistant.

Key Features of Vectra AI MCP Server

The MCP Server connects directly to the Vectra AI Platform and gives security professionals the ability to:

Conduct incident investigations — quickly identify the origin, vector, and scope of an attack.
Reconstruct attack timelines — build sequences of events to understand how a threat actor moved through the network.
Generate security posture reports — create detailed analysis documents that are easy to present to leadership.
Create data visualizations — graphs, diagrams, and attack maps that help simplify complex datasets.

All of this is now available through a conversational interface with a convenient AI assistant, eliminating the need to manually interact with SOC tools or export large volumes of data.

How It Solves SOC Team Challenges

SOC (Security Operations Center) teams often face challenges such as:

Alert fatigue — overwhelming volumes of daily alerts, making it difficult to identify truly critical threats.
Tool fragmentation — various systems for monitoring network, identity, and cloud environments that lack integration.
Complex workflows — investigations that may take hours or even days to complete.

Vectra AI’s MCP Server helps break down these barriers: analysts gain expert-level access to data via simple, everyday language queries. This reduces investigation time, increases accuracy, and lowers the chance of missing critical threats.

Vectra AI’s Vision

“AI is already transforming the way teams investigate and respond to threats. We want to deliver our insights through the tools our customers are already using every day,” said Jeff Reed, Chief Product Officer at Vectra AI.

“The launch of MCP Server is a step toward democratizing security knowledge — now every analyst can instantly access advanced threat analytics via their AI assistant.”

Strengths of the Vectra AI Platform

The Vectra AI Platform has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading NDR (Network Detection and Response) systems. Its key strengths include:

real-time network traffic analysis,
identity threat detection (e.g., account takeovers),
integration with cloud and OT environments,
support for Zero Trust architectures.

In the world’s first Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for NDR, Vectra AI was named a Leader and received the highest rating for Ability to Execute.
