API Credentials

Before using the Falcon MCP Server, you need to create API credentials in your CrowdStrike console.

Creating API Credentials

1. Log into your CrowdStrike console
2. Navigate to Support > API Clients and Keys
3. Click “Add new API client”
4. Configure your API client:
   • Client Name: Choose a descriptive name (e.g., “Falcon MCP Server”)
   • Description: Optional description for your records
   • API Scopes: Select the scopes based on which modules you plan to use

Caution

Ensure your API client has the necessary scopes for the modules you plan to use. You can always update scopes later in the CrowdStrike console.

API Scopes by Module

Each module requires specific CrowdStrike API scopes. See the Module Overview for a complete list of modules and their required scopes.

API Region URLs

Select the correct base URL for your CrowdStrike region:

Region	URL
US-1 (Default)	https://api.crowdstrike.com
US-2	https://api.us-2.crowdstrike.com
EU-1	https://api.eu-1.crowdstrike.com
US-GOV	https://api.laggar.gcw.crowdstrike.com
