Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP)

Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Secure your cloud via Lacework — search security alerts, monitor vulnerabilities, and audit cloud asset inventory.

10 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your Lacework (FortiCNAPP) account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud security posture and threat hunting through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Alert Orchestration — Search and retrieve deep behavioral telemetry for security alerts, identifying anomalous Kubernetes executions or AWS IAM brute-forcing attempts directly from your agent
  • Vulnerability Management — List critical CVEs executing on cloud hosts and monitor static image vulnerabilities in your container registries (ECR, DockerHub)
  • Emergency Incident Response — Instantly search your entire infrastructure for specific CVE exposure (e.g., Log4j) to identify vulnerable nodes during zero-day events
  • Asset Inventory Audit — Query the real-time cloud control-plane to enumerate running instances, unrestricted S3 buckets, and active networking perimeters
  • Threat Hunting (LQL) — Execute specialized Lacework Query Language (LQL) requests to analyze vast datasets for anomalous login patterns or API key abuse
  • Compliance Monitoring — List and audit global cloud security policies to ensure your infrastructure remains within regulatory and organizational norms

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Lacework Account, Key ID, and Secret
  3. Start monitoring your cloud security from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Security Analysts — hunt for threats and investigate polygraph alerts through natural conversation without manual dashboard filtering
  • DevOps & SREs — monitor container and host vulnerabilities to ensure only secure images are promoted through the CI/CD pipeline
  • Compliance Officers — audit security policies and unrestricted cloud assets to maintain a robust organizational security posture

10 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

list_container_vulnerabilities

Examines ECR/DockerHub registries or direct cluster deployments for images carrying critical inherited CVEs at the filesystem level before CI/CD promotion blocks. List static image vulnerabilities detected in Container Registries

get_alert

Extracts precisely what baseline behavior was deviated from, providing deep contextual metadata such as explicit AWS Accounts involved, offending Container Image SHAs, and correlated external IP anomalies. Get exact behavioral payloads and telemetry for an Alert

list_host_vulnerabilities

Identifies running processes strictly matched against Critical or High CVEs (e.g., Log4j, Polkit) directly active inside EC2 or GCE instances. List known vulnerabilities executing natively on Cloud Hosts/VMs

search_cloud_inventory

Used to dynamically enumerate running instances, active networking perimeters, or unrestricted S3 buckets discovered by cross-account role polling. Query the real-time Lacework Cloud Control-Plane Asset Inventory

search_alerts

Fetches events mapping to anomalous Kubernetes executions, AWS IAM brute-forcing attempts, and massive container network exfiltrations spanning the specified time filter. Search Cloud Security alerts dynamically across Lacework

search_cve_exposure

Directly filters the entire cloud infrastructure footprint determining exactly which specific nodes (Machines) are currently vulnerable to the designated CVE (e.g. "CVE-2026-0001"). Search all integrated Machines/Instances for a specific CVE

list_security_policies

Confirms whether Lacework will alert directly if an engineer violates structural norms (e.g., exposing port 22 directly to 0.0.0.0/0). List all global Cloud Security Policies enforced by Lacework

list_lql_queries

These extract precise cloud telemetry fields mapping user-defined compliance checks directly against the underlying dataset. List all Lacework Query Language (LQL) structures

list_resource_groups

Helps define what constitutes "Production" vs "Staging" in Policy evaluation engines. List logical Resource Groups managing Lacework architectures

execute_query

Produces bespoke output matrices tracking API keys bypassing IAM logic, anomalous login patterns, or Kubernetes process spawn trees. Execute an LQL Threat Hunting Query on-demand

Search for all Critical alerts from the last 24 hours

Searching alerts… I've identified 3 Critical alerts in your Lacework account: 1) Anomalous Kubernetes Process, 2) AWS Root Account Access from new IP, 3) Massive Data Exfiltration detected. Which one would you like to investigate first?

List all host vulnerabilities for our Production resource group

Retrieving host vulnerabilities… Found 12 active CVEs across 4 instances in the Production group. Highlights: 2 Critical (Log4j related) and 5 High impact. I can provide the Machine IDs and remediation steps for the critical ones.

Are there any unrestricted S3 buckets currently visible in our inventory?

Auditing cloud inventory… I've discovered 2 unrestricted S3 buckets (AWS:S3:Bucket): 'public-assets-prod' and 'temp-data-dump'. Both allow world-readable access. Would you like to see the associated security policies for these assets?

Yes. Use the `search_cve_exposure` tool and provide the official CVE ID (e.g. CVE-2023-1234). Your agent will filter the entire cloud footprint to determine exactly which specific nodes or machines are currently vulnerable.
