RAD Security MCP server

Lets your AI look up Kubernetes and cloud security findings, images, and runtime data from RAD Security.

Security For it and development Security

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to RAD Security, a tool that watches over your Kubernetes clusters and cloud setup for security problems. Once it is connected, you can just ask your AI questions about your findings, images, or containers instead of clicking around a dashboard. It is handy for anyone who deals with cloud security but does not want to learn every screen of the RAD Security console.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another service. This one connects your AI to RAD Security, so when you ask a question about your clusters or findings, the AI can go look it up there and bring the answer back to you. You do not need to understand how it works under the hood, you just add it once and then talk to your AI like normal.

What this MCP server does

You type a question in your AI chat, like asking which images have the most vulnerabilities. The AI sends that request to this helper, which talks to the RAD Security service on your behalf. RAD Security sends back the data, and the helper hands it to your AI. Your AI then writes it up for you in plain words, as a list, a summary, or a table. Some actions can also change things in RAD Security, like updating a finding's status or running an automation.

What you can do with it

List your clusters and containers with their details
Look up security findings and update their status
See which images have the most vulnerabilities
Check who shelled into a pod
Look at process trees and runtime baselines for running containers
Search the knowledge base and run queries with RadQL
List automations, run one, or create a new schedule

Try asking your AI

“What are my top 10 most vulnerable images right now?”
“Show me all open security findings for the production cluster.”
“Who shelled into a pod in the last 24 hours?”
“List my automations and tell me when the next one runs.”

What it gives back to you

You get answers written in plain language, usually as a list or a short summary. For example, a list of images with their vulnerability counts, or a table of findings with severity and status. If you asked it to change something, like marking a finding as resolved, it tells you that the change was made. Everything shows up right in your chat window.

Before you start

What you need

A RAD Security account
A RAD Security API access key (an ID and secret you create in the RAD Security console)
Your RAD Security account ID
An MCP client that supports remote servers, like Claude, Cursor, or VS Code

Good to know

Some tools can change things in RAD Security, like updating a finding's status or running an automation, so be careful when you ask your AI to make changes.

Install it with your AI

Add RAD Security MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.
