The Netskope Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server is a component that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact directly with your Netskope Security platform. This integration facilitates the use of LLMs to analyze and manage your Netskope security data and controls alongside your other security data and controls.
The MCP server acts as a bridge, connecting LLMs like Claude Desktop, Microsoft Copilot, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Gemini Models to Netskope Management APIs. When running locally or in the cloud, this server provides LLMs with context from your Netskope environment, which can lead to more insightful analysis and automated workflows.
At its core, MCP is an open standard that dictates how applications provide context to LLMs. Imagine MCP as a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C offers a standardized way to connect devices to various peripherals, MCP provides a consistent interface for AI models to interact with diverse data sources and tools.

Key Features
- Natural Language Interaction: The Netskope MCP Server allows you to interact with almost all Netskope Platform APIs using natural language via your preferred LLM. This capability simplifies complex queries and automates workflows by transforming natural language commands into API calls.
- Comprehensive Data Access: The server provides access to various Netskope API collections for querying vital security data, which includes the Data Search API Collection (Application, Page, Network, and Client events), Alerts, and DLP Incidents.
- Incident and Risk Management: Capabilities include reading and manipulating incidents, as well as analyzing user and application activities. The server can assist in incident status analysis to identify bottlenecks and can help prioritize users exhibiting insider risk patterns for expedited investigation.
- Customizable API Collections: The MCP Server can be configured to access other Netskope API collections beyond the default set, such as platform, policies, profiles, and more.
The Netskope MCP Server is designed to provide context and deeper insights from your security data directly into your LLM workflows. It offers a powerful tool for enhancing security analysis and management by leveraging the capabilities of LLMs for data access, analysis, and automation.
