cd SecurityInfrastructure
# 2. Install secure dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# 3. Configure credentials securely
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your platform credentials (see security guidelines)
# 4. Add to Claude Desktop configuration
# Copy config-example.json content to your Claude Desktop config
# Location: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS)
# Update paths and environment variables with your secure values
Secure Configuration
# Verify configuration security
python -c "
import json
with open('.env', 'r') as f:
content = f.read()
if 'REPLACE_WITH_YOUR' in content:
print('⚠️ Please update placeholder credentials in .env')
else:
print('✅ Configuration appears to be customized')

# Test server security
python src/splunk_server.py # Runs on localhost:8080
python src/crowdstrike_server.py # Runs on localhost:8081
python src/misp_server.py # Runs on localhost:8082
🔧 MCP Server Tools
Splunk SIEM Tools (Security Hardened)
search-events: Execute sanitized SPL queries with injection prevention# Example: Secure search for failed login attempts query = "index=security sourcetype=auth action=failure" # Automatically sanitized earliest_time = "-24h" # Validated time format
CrowdStrike EDR Tools (Security Hardened)
search-detections: Query detections with FQL validation and whitelisting# Example: Secure search for high severity detections filter_query = "max_severity:'high'" # Validated against injection patterns sort = "created_timestamp.desc" # Whitelisted sort options only
MISP Tools (Security Hardened)
search-events: Query threat intelligence with input sanitizationsearch-attributes: Search IOCs with XSS and injection prevention# Example: Secure search for IP-based IOCs type = "ip-dst" # Input sanitized and validated category = "Network activity" # Content filtered for safety

🔧 Secure MCP Client Configuration
Claude Desktop Setup (Secure)
Configuration File Location:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Secure Configuration Template:
{
"mcpServers": {
"security-infrastructure-splunk": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/FULL/PATH/TO/SecurityInfrastructure/src/splunk_server.py"],
"env": {
"SPLUNK_HOST": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_SPLUNK_HOST",
"SPLUNK_TOKEN": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_TOKEN",

⚠️ Security Note: Never commit real credentials to version control. Use the provided templates and replace placeholders with actual values.
💻 Secure Usage Examples
Once securely configured with Claude Desktop, you can use natural language to interact with your security platforms:
Splunk SIEM Queries (Injection-Safe)
"Search for failed SSH login attempts in the last 6 hours"
"Find all authentication events from IP 192.168.1.100"
"Show me high priority security alerts from yesterday"
"Search for events in the security index containing 'malware'"
CrowdStrike EDR Queries (Validated)
"Show me all high severity detections from today"
"Find endpoint detections with behavior patterns"
"List recent detections sorted by creation time"
"Search for detections on specific hostnames"
MISP Threat Intelligence (Sanitized)
"Search for events related to specific threat actors"
"Find all IP address indicators of compromise"
"Look up domain indicators from the last week"
"Search for published threat intelligence events about phishing"

config_files = ['.env', 'config/mcp-settings.json']
for f in config_files:
if os.path.exists(f):
with open(f) as file:
content = file.read()
if 'REPLACE_WITH_YOUR' in content:
print(f'⚠️ {f} contains placeholder credentials')
else:
print(f'✅ {f} appears configured')
