## Description
Abnormal Security MCP: threats, search, remediation, ATO cases, vendor/BEC, and evidence download.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "abnormal-mcp-server": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","abnormal-mcp-server"]
  }
}
```

A secure, open-source [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for [Abnormal Security](https://abnormalsecurity.com/).

This project is **not** an official Abnormal product and is not endorsed by Abnormal AI.

## Overview

`abnormal-mcp` lets MCP clients such as Cursor and Claude Desktop query Abnormal Security over **stdio** (default) or **Streamable HTTP**. It uses a lightweight handwritten client against the [Abnormal Security Client API](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/abnormal-security/abx/1.4.3).

```text
MCP Client
    → Abnormal MCP Server (stdio or HTTP)
        → Abnormal REST API
```

The server is read-only by default. Response and evidence download tools are opt-in and independent. Abnormal authorization still applies to every request.

## Features

**Read (always on)**

- Threat list and get from the Threat Log
- Threat links and attachment metadata
- Threat action status poll (`abnormal_threat_action_get`)
- Message search with ergonomic filters (`since`, `sender`, `sender_domain`, `recipient`, `subject`, `url`, `attachment`, `sender_ip`, `judgement`)
- Search activity list and status
- Message remediation history
- AI Security Mailbox (formerly Abuse Mailbox) campaigns and unanalyzed reports
- Employee profile, identity (Genome), and recent logins
- ATO case list, detail, and analysis
- Vendor list, detail, activity, and vendor compromise cases
- Detection 360 report list (false positives and missed attacks)
- US, EU, and FedRAMP base URLs (configurable)

**Response (opt-in: `ABNORMAL_ALLOW_RESPONSE=true`)**

- Search remediation (`delete`, `move_to_inbox`) with `confirm: true` preview gate
- Threat remediate / unremediate with `confirm: true` preview gate
- ATO case status update with `confirm: true` preview gate
- Detection 360 report submit (false positive, missed attack/spam/graymail) with `confirm: true` preview gate

**Evidence download (opt-in: `ABNORMAL_ALLOW_EVIDENCE_DOWNLOAD=true`)**

- Message EML download (by ABX message ID or search `cloud_message_id`)
- Attachment analysis signals and attachment download
- Metadata + bounded preview by default; optional base64 embed (max 1 MiB in tool output)

- stdio transport (default) and opt-in Streamable HTTP
- Native Go binary and Docker image
- MCP Registry listing on tagged releases (`io.github.GregDog/mcp-server-abnormal`)

## Quick Start

Create an Abnormal REST API token in the Abnormal portal under Integrations → Abnormal REST API.

```bash
export ABNORMAL_API_TOKEN="your-token"
abnormal-mcp serve
```

## Installation

### From source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/GregDog/mcp-server-abnormal.git
cd mcp-server-abnormal
make build
```

### Docker

```bash
docker run --rm -i \
  -e ABNORMAL_API_TOKEN \
  ghcr.io/gregdog/mcp-server-abnormal serve

## Security

Read tools are always on. Response and evidence tools require explicit opt-in.

**Local use only:** this server has no built-in authentication or RBAC. Use stdio (default) or loopback HTTP on the same machine. Do not expose the HTTP endpoint on a network without your own access controls.

See [docs/security.md](https://github.com/GregDog/mcp-server-abnormal/blob/HEAD/docs/security.md) and [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/GregDog/mcp-server-abnormal/blob/HEAD/SECURITY.md).

## Development

```bash
make check
make test-access    # optional live API smoke test
make test-phase34   # Phase 3/4 live smoke test
make test-phase5    # Phase 5 evidence smoke test (requires ABNORMAL_ALLOW_EVIDENCE_DOWNLOAD)
```
