Enterprise security and networking teams need details fast, and we work hard to make sure your SASE admin experience is as streamlined as possible. But sometimes it’s better to integrate data into the tools you already use.

Introducing the Harmony SASE MCP Server: the bridge between the AI tools you use every day and Harmony SASE.

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI and IDE assistants (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.) connect to external tools and data sources in a consistent, secure way. The Harmony SASE MCP Server supports a curated set of read‑only capabilities so your AI client can retrieve details about your environment on demand.

What You Can Do with SASE MCP

With the SASE MCP server you can get quick answers to key details about your environment such as:

  • Network management: List all Harmony SASE networks, get specific network IDs.
  • Gateway management: Get gateway details by network and gateway ID.
  • Region management: List all available regions or get specific region details.
  • Application Management: List all applications, get specific application details, or check the application’s deployment status.
Example Prompts
  • “Find the network named EMEA‑Prod and its gateway configurations.”
  • “List all applications and identify which networks they’re accessible from.”
  • “List any of my applications that are currently offline.”
Accelerating IT with AI

Integrating SASE with your AI tools can help assess network status issues quickly allowing security teams to focus on analysis and remediation rather than data collection.

The natural language interface also ensures consistent access to information across different team members and skill levels. Whether you’re a senior architect, a junior analyst, or a business decision maker you can ask the same questions and get the same critical data.

The SASE MCP Server currently provides read-only access and does not make changes to your firewall configuration, onboarding flows, or other settings. Your API credentials are never shared with or exposed to the AI model itself.

Be sure to only use the SASE MCP Server with AI clients you trust and that comply with your organization’s existing policies for sensitive data handling.
