QRadar MCP Server

Let AI agents investigate security incidents, query offenses, run AQL searches, and manage threat intelligence — all through natural language.

What You Can Do

• Investigate security offenses — ask "show me all critical offenses from the last 24 hours" and get instant triage with source IPs, event counts, and severity
• Run AQL queries in plain English — translate business questions into QRadar's Ariel Query Language without knowing AQL syntax
• Manage reference sets — update blocklists, allowlists, and threat intelligence feeds through conversation
• Accelerate incident response — correlate events, identify attack patterns, and build investigation timelines in seconds instead of hours
