How to Set Up and Use Wazuh Security Operations
Wazuh MCP Server is a production-ready integration that connects AI models to a Wazuh SIEM deployment, enabling security analysts to query alerts, investigate agents, check vulnerabilities, and trigger active responses using plain English. It exposes 48 security tools organized across alert querying, agent monitoring, CVE lookups, threat analysis, active response (block IPs, isolate hosts), and rollback operations. Security teams use it to dramatically accelerate incident triage and compliance checks without context-switching from their AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or later installed
- Docker and Docker Compose installed (recommended deployment method)
- A running Wazuh Manager instance accessible over the network
- Wazuh API credentials (username and password)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Clone the repository
Clone the Wazuh MCP Server repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/gensecaihq/Wazuh-MCP-Server.git
cd Wazuh-MCP-ServerConfigure environment variables
Copy the example environment file and fill in your Wazuh Manager connection details. WAZUH_HOST, WAZUH_USER, and WAZUH_PASS are required.
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set:
# WAZUH_HOST=your-wazuh-manager-ip
# WAZUH_USER=wazuh-api-username
# WAZUH_PASS=wazuh-api-password
# WAZUH_PORT=55000 (default)Start the server with Docker Compose
Launch the MCP server using Docker Compose. The server will start and listen for MCP client connections.
docker compose up -dAdd to your Claude Desktop config
Edit claude_desktop_config.json to register the Wazuh MCP server, passing all required credentials as environment variables.

}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or reload Claude Code. The 48 security tools become available including alert querying, agent monitoring, vulnerability scanning, active response, and rollback operations.
Verify connectivity with a test query
Ask Claude to show the current Wazuh cluster health or list active agents to confirm the server is connected and credentials are valid.

Client configuration
Register the Wazuh MCP server with your Wazuh Manager credentials. All three connection variables are required.

Query your Wazuh SIEM and trigger security responses using natural language.
- "Show me all critical severity alerts from the last hour"
- "Which agents have unpatched critical CVEs right now?"
- "Block the source IP 203.0.113.42 on agent-003"
- "Isolate the host agent-007 and explain what triggered the isolation"
- "Run a compliance check and show me any PCI-DSS failures"
- "What are the top 5 most triggered rules across all agents today?"Troubleshooting Wazuh Security Operations
Connection refused when trying to reach the Wazuh Manager
Verify WAZUH_HOST and WAZUH_PORT are correct and that the Wazuh API is running. Test with: curl -k -u user:pass https://your-wazuh-host:55000/. The API runs on port 55000 by default and uses self-signed SSL.
Authentication fails with 401 Unauthorized
Double-check WAZUH_USER and WAZUH_PASS against your Wazuh API user list. The API user must have appropriate permissions — the admin role is recommended for full tool coverage. You can verify credentials with the curl command above.
Active response tools (block IP, isolate host) return permission denied
Active response requires AUTHLESS_ALLOW_WRITE=true to be set in your .env file, or the MCP client must be authenticated with write permissions. By default, write operations are disabled for safety. Set AUTHLESS_ALLOW_WRITE=false and use proper auth mode instead.
