Editor Integration

The Falcon MCP Server works with any MCP-compatible editor or AI assistant. Below are configuration examples for popular clients.

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

Using uvx (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--env-file",
        "/path/to/.env",
        "falcon-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

With module selection

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--env-file",
        "/path/to/.env",
        "falcon-mcp",
        "--modules",
        "detections,incidents,intel"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Using individual environment variables

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["falcon-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FALCON_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",
        "FALCON_BASE_URL": "https://api.crowdstrike.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker version

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "falcon-mcp-docker": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--env-file",
        "/full/path/to/.env",
        "quay.io/crowdstrike/falcon-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note

The -i flag is required when using the default stdio transport with Docker.

Cline (VS Code)

Cline supports stdio and SSE transports. Add to your Cline MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--env-file",
        "/path/to/.env",
        "falcon-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

# Install uv first
gemini extensions install https://github.com/CrowdStrike/falcon-mcp

# Copy .env file
cp /path/to/.env ~/.gemini/extensions/falcon-mcp/.env

SSE / HTTP Clients

For clients that connect via URL (SSE or streamable-http), start the server first:

# SSE
falcon-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Streamable HTTP
falcon-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Then configure your client with:

• SSE URL: http://your-host:8000/sse
• Streamable HTTP URL: http://your-host:8000/mcp
