Talk to Your Threat Intelligence Platform: Introducing the Cyware MCP Server

The cybersecurity landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with AI emerging as a critical force in security operations. Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are under immense pressure to process ever-increasing volumes of threat data and respond with speed and precision. The challenge? Analysts often grapple with complex interfaces, proprietary query languages, and the constant need to switch between disparate tools, time that could be better spent on high-value analysis and proactive threat hunting activities.

Today, Cyware is launching a significant advancement in threat intelligence operations with the introduction of the Cyware Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a key part of Cyware Quarterback AI. This innovative solution is designed to bridge the gap between complex threat intelligence platforms and intuitive human interaction through the power of natural language processing. It enables AI-native workflows across our threat intelligence ecosystem, transforming how security analysts interact with critical cybersecurity threat intelligence data.

What is the Cyware MCP Server?

The Cyware MCP Server is an open-source (GitHub) AI-native solution that brings natural language interfaces directly to your cyber threat intelligence workflows. It is built to support all Cyware products, beginning with seamless integration into Cyware Intel Exchange and Cyware Orchestrate. This empowers security analysts to query, summarize, and act on threat intelligence data using conversational AI.

Imagine moving beyond the need to memorize complex query languages or navigate multiple screens. With Cyware MCP Server, you can simply ask your AI assistant questions like:

• “Find active malicious IP indicators that aren't from RSS feeds”
• “Show file-based indicators with malware tags enriched by specific tools”
• "Show more details on this IP - 200.222.162.192 and update the TLP to GREEN"

The AI assistant, powered by the Cyware MCP Server, handles the underlying complexity, allowing analysts to focus on what they do best: analysis and response.

Core Capabilities and How They Transform Your Operations

The Cyware MCP Server offers a comprehensive set of capabilities designed to accelerate your threat intelligence operations:

• Natural Language Processing (NLP): The server converts conversational queries into precise system actions.
• Seamless Integration with Cyware Intel Exchange: Gain direct access to threat intelligence exchange capabilities. Analysts can fetch, filter, summarize, enrich, tag, and update threat objects using natural language queries via AI agent interactions. This includes functions like retrieving threat data object details, performing CQL search translations, managing bulk tagging and relationships, adding/updating threat indicators, and viewing enrichment and source metadata.
• Direct Connectivity with Cyware Orchestrate: The server enables AI agents like Claude for Desktop or Cursor AI to trigger playbooks on-demand. This allows for integration with hundreds of security tools via pre-built connectors, providing a low-friction way for analysts to act on intelligence without leaving the assistant interface. Key exposed functions include playbook selection and execution, app discovery and action configuration, and running policy-based automation without UI navigation.
• Comprehensive Workflow Coverage: Execute complex sequences of threat intelligence operations, streamlining investigations, enrichment, and response within a single conversational interface. From simple indicator lookups to complex multi-step investigation workflows, the Cyware MCP Server covers the full spectrum of threat intelligence operations, eliminating the need for analysts to switch between multiple tools and platforms. Moreover, the MCP Server breaks complex queries into step-by-step actions that mirror how analysts work within Cyware products, reducing analyst workload.
• Security-First Design: Built with enterprise security requirements at its core, the MCP server maintains comprehensive logging, auditability, and explainability features that security teams demand. It preserves all existing access controls and permissions while extending functionality through AI-powered interfaces, ensuring enhanced productivity never compromises security posture.

Why the Cyware MCP Server Matters

The Cyware MCP Server provides tangible benefits for organizations seeking to advance their security operations:

• Accelerated AI Adoption: By providing a direct and seamless connection to existing Cyware infrastructure, the MCP server enables organizations to integrate AI assistants without complex, engineering-intensive integrations. This allows for a quicker and more efficient adoption of AI capabilities within security workflows.
• Enhanced Analyst Workflows: By replacing complex query languages with natural language, the Cyware MCP Server simplifies analyst interaction and speeds up triage, enrichment, and incident resolution by executing multi-step workflows through AI agents. This frees up analysts to focus on high-value tasks like threat analysis and response.
• Strategic Positioning for the Future: Cyware's early investment in MCP integration reflects a proactive approach to the evolving cybersecurity landscape. This positions organizations leveraging Cyware solutions to be at the forefront of AI-native security operations, potentially influencing how these integrations develop across the industry.

Benefits for SOC Analysts and Threat Intelligence Professionals

The Cyware MCP Server is specifically designed to empower SOC Analysts and threat intelligence personnel by:

• Faster Threat Hunting: Conduct faster threat hunting through natural language queries.
• Reduced Learning Curve: New team members can onboard and become productive faster, eliminating the need to learn proprietary syntax or navigate complex UIs.
• Streamlined Investigation Workflows: Automate routine tasks and execute complex workflows seamlessly, leading to more efficient investigation processes.
• Boosting Efficiency: Turn natural language into action across Cyware’s product ecosystem, driving down the time spent on manual tasks and allowing for more strategic analysis.
