OSSEC

About

The OSSEC MCP Server is a comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to integrate OSSEC HIDS with AI assistants. It transforms OSSEC's robust security monitoring functions into accessible MCP tools, static and dynamic resources, and structured prompts. This enables AI to interact directly with OSSEC to query alerts, manage agents, inspect rules, perform integrity checks, and execute active responses, facilitating AI-driven security operations and incident response workflows.

Key Features

• 8 static and 3 dynamic (parameterized) resources for quick access to critical security data like recent alerts, agent details, and configuration.
• Supports both local OSSEC HIDS installations and remote Wazuh/OSSEC REST API connections.
• Robust security hardening, including secure XML parsing, strict input validation, path traversal prevention, and error sanitization.
• 0 GitHub stars
• 26 specialized tools for alerts, agent management, rule inspection, file integrity monitoring (Syscheck), rootkit detection (Rootcheck), and OSSEC status/configuration.
• 5 pre-defined prompts for structured security analysis, agent investigation, comprehensive audits, incident response, and rule tuning.

Use Cases

• Automated management, monitoring, and deep investigation of OSSEC agents.
• Comprehensive security audits and rule tuning using AI assistance.
• AI-driven security alert analysis and automated incident response workflows.
