Fleet FAQs

Question 1

What is Fleet MCP and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Fleet MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a server that enables AI assistants to directly interact with Fleet Device Management. It acts as an intermediary, allowing AI models to manage devices, monitor security, and enforce compliance using natural language commands.

Question 2

How do I integrate Fleet MCP with my existing AI assistant setup?

Accepted Answer

Integration involves installing the `fleet-mcp` package, generating a Fleet API token, and configuring your preferred MCP-compatible AI client (such as Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or others) with your Fleet server URL and API token, typically via environment variables in the client's configuration file.

Question 3

What are the primary capabilities of Fleet MCP?

Accepted Answer

Fleet MCP offers robust host management, real-time osquery execution for live data retrieval, comprehensive policy and compliance management, detailed software inventory tracking, and dynamic osquery table discovery, all accessible via AI assistants.

Question 4

Is Fleet MCP designed for read-only operations to ensure safety?

Accepted Answer

Fleet MCP supports a 'read-only' mode as a safe default, allowing exploration and queries without making changes to your fleet. You can selectively enable 'SELECT-only' queries or full command execution based on your operational security requirements.

Question 5

Can Fleet MCP help with security monitoring and vulnerability management?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Fleet MCP significantly aids in security monitoring. It allows AI assistants to run real-time osquery queries for threat detection, track software installations and known vulnerabilities, and enforce security policies across your entire device fleet.
