KNOWBE4_API_KEY secret required env
KnowBe4 Reporting API token (Bearer token from KnowBe4 console)
KNOWBE4_REGION env
KnowBe4 region: 'us', 'eu', 'ca', 'uk', or 'de' — selects API base URL
KNOWBE4_BASE_URL env
Override the KnowBe4 API base URL — auto-derived from region if omitted
MCP_TRANSPORT env
Transport mode for the server. Set to 'stdio' for local CLI use; the image defaults to 'http' for gateway hosting.

Common questions

Is KnowBe4 safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: KNOWBE4_API_KEY

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 –, and the latest version (1.1.4) reached the registry 3 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?

KnowBe4 MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for KnowBe4 security awareness training. Enables AI assistants to manage phishing simulations, training campaigns, user risk scoring, and security awareness reporting.

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) to your KnowBe4 environment.

Part of the [MSP Claude Plugins](https://github.com/WYRE-AI) ecosystem — a growing suite of AI integrations for the MSP stack. Built by MSPs, for MSPs.

Installation

npm install @wyre-ai/knowbe4-mcp

Configuration

Copy .env.example. Stdio and AUTH_MODE=env read the KnowBe4 variables. Gateway mode does not.

Variable	Required	Description
`KNOWBE4_API_KEY`	For stdio and `AUTH_MODE=env`	KnowBe4 API key
`KNOWBE4_REGION`	No	API region: `us` (default), `eu`, `ca`, `uk`, or `de`
`KNOWBE4_BASE_URL`	No	Custom base URL (overrides region)
`MCP_TRANSPORT`	No	`stdio` (default) or `http`
`AUTH_MODE`	No	`env` (default outside the image) or `gateway`. The container image and Compose default to `gateway`. Gateway mode requires `X-KnowBe4-API-Key` on each `/mcp` request (`X-KnowBe4-Region` is optional) and never falls back to `KNOWBE4_*`.
`CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET`	Yes for HTTP	Service-to-service secret. The HTTP server logs an error and exits non-zero when this is empty or a known placeholder. Compose will not start without it. Never commit a real value. Generate one with `openssl rand -hex 32`.
`MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV`	No	Set to `1` only for local development to start HTTP without `CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET`. The process logs a warning, does not enforce `X-Gateway-S2S`, and binds `127.0.0.1` only. A non-loopback `MCP_HTTP_HOST` refuses startup. A known placeholder secret is still refused.
`MCP_HTTP_HOST`	No	Bind address when a real `CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET` is set. Unset keeps `0.0.0.0`, which is what the container image sets, so container deploys stay on every interface inside the container. Without a secret the dev bypass binds `127.0.0.1` instead.
`MCP_HTTP_PORT`	No	HTTP port. Defaults to `8080`.

/health and /healthz stay unauthenticated and do not read credentials. The stdio transport does not use CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET.

HTTP authentication

With MCP_TRANSPORT=http and CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET set, every /mcp request must include X-Gateway-S2S. The value is t= ,v1= , where v1 is HMAC-SHA256 of the exact string t= keyed by CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET (64 lowercase hex characters). The timestamp must be within 300 seconds of the server clock. A missing or invalid header returns 401. The secret is never written to logs.

import { createHmac } from "node:crypto";

const t = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000); const v1 = createHmac("sha256", process.env.CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET) .update(t=${t}) .digest("hex"); const xGatewayS2s = t=${t},v1=${v1};

In AUTH_MODE=gateway, /mcp also requires X-KnowBe4-API-Key (X-KnowBe4-Region is optional). That header is the only credential source for the request. A request missing it returns 401 and does not read KNOWBE4_API_KEY from the environment.

Usage

Running with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "knowbe4-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@wyre-ai/knowbe4-mcp"], "env": { "KNOWBE4_API_KEY": "your-knowbe4-api-key" } } } }

Running with Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add knowbe4-mcp \

-e KNOWBE4_API_KEY=your-value \ -- npx -y @wyre-ai/knowbe4-mcp

Docker

The image listens on 0.0.0.0 inside the container (MCP_HTTP_HOST) and defaults to AUTH_MODE=gateway. Publish the port on loopback and pass a real S2S secret. In gateway mode, the KnowBe4 API key arrives on each request as X-KnowBe4-API-Key; it is not read from the environment.

docker build -t knowbe4-mcp .

docker run \ -e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ knowbe4-mcp

Compose refuses to start when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is unset, sets AUTH_MODE=gateway, does not set KNOWBE4_API_KEY or env_file, and publishes 127.0.0.1:8080:8080:

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" docker compose up

Single-tenant HTTP (AUTH_MODE=env) still requires the S2S secret, then uses KNOWBE4_API_KEY:

docker run \

-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \ -e AUTH_MODE=env \ -e KNOWBE4_API_KEY=your-value \ -e KNOWBE4_REGION=us \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ knowbe4-mcp

Local HTTP without a secret is development-only. It binds 127.0.0.1 and logs a warning. A non-loopback MCP_HTTP_HOST makes startup exit:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 npm start

Interactive User Card (MCP Apps)

knowbe4_users_get renders as an interactive card in MCP Apps hosts (Claude Desktop/web) showing the user's risk score, phish-prone percentage, risk-score trend, and profile details; plain-JSON behavior is unchanged in other hosts, and the card is read-only (no write round-trip). The card is neutral by default and brandable via window.__BRAND__ injection or MCP_BRAND_* env vars (MCP_BRAND_NAME, MCP_BRAND_LOGO_URL, MCP_BRAND_PRIMARY_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_ACCENT_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_BG, MCP_BRAND_TEXT) — no rebuild needed.
