AI Integration (MCP)

ConfigCobra ships a native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Connect it to your AI assistant and ask plain-language questions about your Microsoft 365 compliance posture — no dashboard login required.

Connection details

All three clients below use the same server. Keep these values handy before you start:

Connect Claude (claude.ai)

Claude supports MCP connections natively through its Connectors settings. No extra setup required.

1. Open Settings → Connectors

   In Claude, click your profile picture (top right) → Settings → Connectors.

2. Add a custom connection

   Click Add connection, then select Add custom connection at the bottom of the list.

3. Fill in the connection details

   Enter the following values:

   Name	ConfigCobra
   Remote server URL	https://mcp.configcobra.com/mcp
   OAuth Client ID	1427b4c7-9093-405b-a701-cf027073e035

4. Authorize with Microsoft

   Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a Microsoft sign-in page — log in with the same account you use for ConfigCobra. ConfigCobra only requests read-only access to your scan data.

5. Start a conversation

   Open a new Claude conversation and ask anything about your M365 posture. Claude will use the ConfigCobra integration automatically when your question is compliance-related.

   ✓

   Try: "What are my top 5 critical findings right now?" or "Who are my global admins and do they have any issues?"

Connect ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports custom MCP connections through its Connectors feature. You need to enable the feature first before the connection settings appear.

1. Enable Connectors (developer step)

   Go to Settings → Beta features and turn on Connectors. If you don't see this option, make sure you're on a ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Enterprise plan — Connectors is not available on free accounts.

2. Open Settings → Connectors

   Once Connectors is enabled, go to Settings → Connectors → Add connection.

3. Add a custom connection

   Select Add custom connection and fill in the same details as Claude:

   Name	ConfigCobra
   Remote server URL	https://mcp.configcobra.com/mcp
   OAuth Client ID	1427b4c7-9093-405b-a701-cf027073e035

4. Authorize and start chatting

   Click Connect, complete the Microsoft sign-in, and you're done. ChatGPT will use ConfigCobra data when you ask compliance questions.

Connect Cursor

Cursor supports MCP servers via its settings UI or a JSON config file. Use whichever method you prefer.

Option A — Settings UI

1. Open Cursor Settings → MCP

   Press Ctrl+, (or ⌘+, on Mac) to open Settings, then navigate to Tools & Integrations → MCP Servers.

2. Add a new server

   Click Add new MCP server and enter:

   Name	ConfigCobra
   Type	HTTP / SSE
   Server URL	https://mcp.configcobra.com/mcp

3. Save and authorize

   Click Save. Cursor will open a browser window for Microsoft OAuth — sign in with your ConfigCobra account to complete the connection.

Option B — mcp.json config file

Alternatively, add ConfigCobra directly to your Cursor MCP config file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ConfigCobra": {
      "url": "https://mcp.configcobra.com/mcp",
      "transport": "sse"
    }
  }
}

After saving the file, reload Cursor. You'll be prompted to authorize via Microsoft OAuth on first use.

Other MCP-compatible clients

Any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol can connect to ConfigCobra using the same details:

Refer to your client's documentation for the exact steps to add a custom MCP server. If you get stuck, email info@configcobra.com and we'll help you connect.

What you can ask

Once connected, your AI assistant has access to your live ConfigCobra scan data. Some example queries:

• What are my top critical findings right now?
• Who are my global admins and do they have any issues?
• What's my current compliance score?
• Which users have no MFA methods registered?
• Generate a remediation plan for the PIM approval gap.
• What controls regressed since last week?
• Show me all failing controls in the Identity section.
