Panguard MCP Server

Panguard MCP implements the Model Context Protocol standard, allowing AI assistants to interact with your security infrastructure through natural language. Ask your AI to scan for vulnerabilities, check guard status, block malicious IPs, or generate compliance reports — all through conversation.

Quick Start

Add Panguard to your AI assistant’s MCP configuration:

Claude Desktop
Cursor
Windsurf
Claude Code

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (Settings > MCP Servers):

{
  "panguard": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
  }
}

Add to your Windsurf MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The MCP server runs as a local process, communicating with your AI assistant via stdio. All security operations execute locally on your machine — no data is sent to external servers through the MCP channel.
