All Use Cases

Material’s MCP server enables customers to connect their AI agents to Material to list issues and update the issue status, classification, and remediation options. Security teams who live in AI platforms don’t need to context-switch to a separate console to work with Material’s features.

Problem: Your team is moving to AI-first workflows, but your tools aren’t

Security is fundamentally about connecting dots across many data sources. Any friction in that process like manual steps, context switching, re-authentication, or data reformatting directly increases the window of exposure when a real attack is underway.

  • Difficult to leverage AI: Modern AI assistants and copilots need a standardized way to interact with tools. Without MCP, plugging an AI into your email security stack requires custom prompt engineering and bespoke API wrappers for every tool — heavy lift, fragile results.
  • Siloed tooling: Each security tool lives in its own world — email gateway, SIEM, ticketing system, threat intel platform — with no shared language between them. Analysts have to manually pivot between dashboards, copying and pasting data across systems to build a complete picture of a threat.
  • Slow incident response: Automated response playbooks are hard to build when tools can't communicate fluidly. What could be a sub-minute automated containment action instead becomes a multi-step manual process that takes 30+ minutes.

Solution: Material’s MCP server is purpose-built for AI-first companies

Material Security is built to provide AI-first companies with the tools they need to move quickly and automate their cloud workspace security operations. Connect your AI agents to powerful detection and response capabilities.

  • Unified AI access to email, file, and identity security data: We built our MCP server to expose our security platform — issues, messages, verdicts — through a standard interface that any AI agent can connect to. Instead of an analyst toggling between Material's UI and other tools, an AI assistant can query Material's data alongside everything else in one conversation.
  • Backed by a high-quality API: When you want deterministic control, you can interact with our API directly, which is what our MCP server is built on top of. The API has complete documentation as well as a downloadable OpenAPI specification to let you interact with Material in whatever way you choose.
  • Verdict updates through natural language An AI agent can not only investigate a threat but also act on it (changing a verdict, resolving an issue) without the analyst ever leaving their AI interface.
  • Works with major agents out of the box: Security teams can plug it into the AI workflow they already use.
