Works with Claude, with some setup first

You need a Abnormal MCP Server key (sign up on the maker’s site, may cost money) · Install Docker on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

  1. Install Docker

    One time only; it works for every server that needs Docker

    Open the Docker download page ↗

  2. Sign up and create a Abnormal MCP Server key

    Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. It may cost money.

    Open the Abnormal MCP Server site ↗

  3. Open the Claude desktop app’s settings file

    SettingsDeveloperEdit Config

  4. Paste these settings and save the file

        }
      }
    }

    Paste the key only into the app’s field, never into a chat or to anyone

  5. Quit Claude and open it again

  6. Try it

    Use Abnormal MCP Server and tell me what you can do for me, then show me one thing

    ✓ If Claude says it is using Abnormal MCP Server or shows a Abnormal MCP Server tool in the answer, you are connected

Common questions

Is Abnormal MCP Server safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: ABNORMAL_API_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 6 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Abnormal MCP Server

A secure, open-source Model Context Protocol server for Abnormal Security.

This project is not an official Abnormal product and is not endorsed by Abnormal AI.

Overview

abnormal-mcp lets MCP clients such as Cursor and Claude Desktop query Abnormal Security over stdio (default) or Streamable HTTP. It uses a lightweight handwritten client against the Abnormal Security Client API.

MCP Client

→ Abnormal MCP Server (stdio or HTTP) → Abnormal REST API

The server is read-only by default. Response and evidence download tools are opt-in and independent. Abnormal authorization still applies to every request.

Features

Read (always on)

  • Threat list and get from the Threat Log
  • Threat links and attachment metadata
  • Threat action status poll (abnormal_threat_action_get)
  • Message search with ergonomic filters (since, sender, sender_domain, recipient, subject, url, attachment, sender_ip, judgement)
  • Search activity list and status
  • Message remediation history
  • AI Security Mailbox (formerly Abuse Mailbox) campaigns and unanalyzed reports
  • Employee profile, identity (Genome), and recent logins
  • ATO case list, detail, and analysis
  • Vendor list, detail, activity, and vendor compromise cases
  • Detection 360 report list (false positives and missed attacks)
  • US, EU, and FedRAMP base URLs (configurable)

Response (opt-in: `ABNORMAL_ALLOW_RESPONSE=true`)

  • Search remediation (delete, move_to_inbox) with confirm: true preview gate
  • Threat remediate / unremediate with confirm: true preview gate
  • ATO case status update with confirm: true preview gate
  • Detection 360 report submit (false positive, missed attack/spam/graymail) with confirm: true preview gate

Evidence download (opt-in: `ABNORMAL_ALLOW_EVIDENCE_DOWNLOAD=true`)

  • Message EML download (by ABX message ID or search cloud_message_id)
  • Attachment analysis signals and attachment download
  • Metadata + bounded preview by default; optional base64 embed (max 1 MiB in tool output)
  • stdio transport (default) and opt-in Streamable HTTP
  • Native Go binary and Docker image
  • MCP Registry listing on tagged releases (io.github.GregDog/mcp-server-abnormal)

Quick Start

Create an Abnormal REST API token in the Abnormal portal under Integrations → Abnormal REST API.

export ABNORMAL_API_TOKEN="your-token"

abnormal-mcp serve

Installation

From source
git clone https://github.com/GregDog/mcp-server-abnormal.git

cd mcp-server-abnormal make build

Docker
docker run --rm -i \

-e ABNORMAL_API_TOKEN \ ghcr.io/gregdog/mcp-server-abnormal serve

Client configuration

Cursor (stdio)

See examples/cursor.mcp.json.

Claude Desktop

See examples/claude-desktop.json.

Tools

27 read tools are always registered. With ABNORMAL_ALLOW_EVIDENCE_DOWNLOAD=true, five evidence tools are added (32 total). With ABNORMAL_ALLOW_RESPONSE=true, four response tools are added (31 total, or 36 with both gates enabled).

Security

Read tools are always on. Response and evidence tools require explicit opt-in.

Local use only: this server has no built-in authentication or RBAC. Use stdio (default) or loopback HTTP on the same machine. Do not expose the HTTP endpoint on a network without your own access controls.

See docs/security.md and SECURITY.md.
