## Description
Manage Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange via 280+ tools — ZPA, ZIA, ZDX, ZCC, EASM, and more.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **zeasm_list_findings** — List EASM findings for an organization.

Read-only. Returns one triage row per finding (id, category, type, status,
risk level/score, impacted asset, first/last seen) rather than the raw SDK
record. Use the returned `id` with `zeasm_get_finding_details`,
`zeasm_get_finding_evidence`, or `zeasm_get_finding_scan_output`.
- **zeasm_get_finding_details** — Get the full detail for one EASM finding.

Read-only. Adds description, country, CISA/EPSS exploitation-likelihood
signals, and scan provenance on top of the triage fields.
- **zeasm_get_finding_evidence** — Get the scan evidence attributed to one EASM finding.

Read-only. Returns the evidence `content` (the subset of scan output
attributable to this finding) and its `source_type`. The content can be
large free-form scanner text and is preserved verbatim.
- **zeasm_get_finding_scan_output** — Get the complete scan output for one EASM finding.

Read-only. Returns the full scan `content` and its `source_type`. The
content can be large free-form scanner text and is preserved verbatim.
- **zeasm_list_lookalike_domains** — List EASM lookalike domains for an organization.

Read-only. Returns one triage row per detected lookalike/impersonation
domain (the lookalike, the domain it impersonates, risk, registration
state, deception methods). Use the returned `lookalike_raw` with
`zeasm_get_lookalike_domain` for full detail.
- **zeasm_get_lookalike_domain** — Get full detail for one EASM lookalike domain.

Read-only. Adds description, registrar/registrant + lifecycle dates, and

- **zia_list_url_categories** — List ZIA URL categories. Narrow the request — this response can be large.

ASK THE USER FOR SCOPE BEFORE CALLING THIS UNFILTERED. This endpoint does not
paginate: everything matching the request comes back in a single response,
and a large tenant holds thousands of categories. If the request was broad
("show me the URL categories"), ask which ones they mean — custom or
predefined (`custom_only`), URL or TLD (`type`), or a name to match
(`search`) — and call once with that answer. Do not call unfiltered first
and narrow afterwards; the cost is already paid by then.

Use this to see what categories exist, or to resolve a category id before
calling another tool. For predefined categories the id IS the name
(`OTHER_ADULT_MATERIAL`); custom categories carry a generated id and are
identified by `configured_name`.

For "list the custom URL categories", pass `custom_only=True` — that is a
real API filter, so only those categories are fetched.

For "WHICH custom category contains app.box.com?", pass
`custom_only=True, contains_url="app.box.com"` — ONE call, and only the
matching categories come back, each annotated with `_url_match` naming the
entries that matched. Do NOT list all custom categories and scan their URL
lists yourself: the server's matching understands ZIA's domain semantics
(`.app.box.com` covers `app.box.com`), and a manual scan of full records is
exactly the response that exhausts token budgets on large tenants.

Every category comes back with its URL, keyword and IP lists in full. The API
has no parameter to return counts instead, so on a tenant whose categories
hold large URL lists this response is big and nothing about the call itself
makes it smaller. Three things do: `contains_url` when the question is about
one URL, filtering before calling, and a `query` projection when the answer
needs only part of each record — for example
`[*].{id: id, name: configured_name, urls: custom_urls_count}` for an
inventory rather than the URLs themselves. The projection is applied before
the response is encoded, so it is a real saving, not cosmetic.

Filtering narrows WHICH categories are returned; it cannot cap HOW MANY. A
tenant with 5000 custom categories returns 5000 rows for `custom_only=True`.

Use `zia_get_url_category` for one category's full definition once you know
its id. For Zscaler's own (predefined) classification of a URL, use
`zia_url_lookup` — that is a different question, and this tool's
`contains_url` only searches admin-configured entries, never Zscaler's
curated database.
- **zia_url_lookup** — Which category does a URL belong to? Use THIS for that question — default.

Answers "what category is twilio.com?" directly: pass the URLs and get back
Zscaler's classification for each, e.g.
`{"url": "notpurple.com", "urlClassifications": ["SPECIALIZED_SHOPPING"]}`.
The response is small and scales with the number of URLs you ask about, not
with the size of the tenant's category inventory.

This returns Zscaler's PREDEFINED classification ONLY. It does not report
the tenant's custom categories: a URL an admin placed in a custom category
still shows its predefined category here. When the user explicitly asks
about CUSTOM categories ("which custom category contains app.box.com?"),
make ONE call to
`zia_list_url_categories(custom_only=True, contains_url="app.box.com")` —
the server does the matching and returns only the categories that contain
the URL. Do not answer the custom question from this tool's output, and do
not list all categories and scan them yourself.

Unless the user says "custom", this tool alone answers the question — stop
after it. Up to 100 URLs per request; a URL in no predefined category comes
back as `MISCELLANEOUS_OR_UNKNOWN`.

## Documentation

## What Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server does

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server gives MCP-compatible AI agents access to Zscaler platform data and operations. The repository documents 402 tools spanning multiple Zscaler services, including ZPA, ZIA, ZDX, ZCC, Zscaler Client Connector, EASM, and other services referenced by the project.

Typical requests include listing ZPA application segments, viewing ZPA segment groups, and retrieving ZIA rule labels. Prompts should identify both the service and the requested action because several Zscaler services may contain similarly named resources.

By default, the server exposes read-only operations. Agents can use list and get tools without enabling resource changes. Create, update, and delete operations are not available unless write access is deliberately configured.

## How it works

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server runs as an MCP service and presents Zscaler operations as agent tools. An MCP client can discover the available tools and select one based on a prompt.

Read-only tools remain registered regardless of the write-related options. Service selection can reduce the set of exposed tools; disabled services have their tools removed from the server. The agent may still search other enabled services for related capabilities, so prompts should name the intended service.

## Setup and configuration

The server can be started in its default read-only mode. To permit modifications, configure both the `--enable-write-tools` command-line option and the `--write-tools` allowlist. Setting only the global write option registers no write tools. The allowlist accepts exact tool names and wildcard patterns, such as a service-wide pattern or selected create and delete operations.

The same global write setting can be provided through `ZSCALER_MCP_WRITE_ENABLED=true`. Authentication and deployment documentation covers Zscaler API credentials, MCP client configuration, containers, remote deployments, Kubernetes, and cloud environments; the appropriate setup depends on where the server runs and which Zscaler APIs are being used.

## Tools and capabilities

The documented tool groups support:

- Reading Zscaler resources through `list_*` and `get_*` operations.
- Creating, updating, or deleting resources when explicitly allowlisted.
- Working with ZPA application segments and segment groups.
- Inspecting ZIA rule labels and other service resources.
- Selecting or disabling service groups to control which tools are exposed.

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange MCP server is therefore suitable for read-heavy investigation by default, with narrowly scoped automation available for teams that need changes through an agent.

## Limitations and notes

The project is in public preview and under active development. Its features may change before the stable 1.0 release, and the README advises against production deployments during this phase.

Write access has two independent safeguards: the global write switch and a mandatory allowlist. Enabling the switch without naming tools does not enable modifications. An MCP client may also require individual read-only tools to be enabled in its own interface. Consult the project’s support and troubleshooting guidance before relying on the server.
