Initial Release

This release introduces the Tanium Atlas MCP Server, which is a remote MCP Server for AI clients to query live Tanium data using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Features

  • The remote MCP endpoint for your Tanium Cloud environment is accessible at https://<domain>-api.cloud.tanium.com/mcp. Add this endpoint to an MCP-compatible AI client.
  • Authentication requires a registered OAuth client. For more information, see Enabling third-party authentication through OAuth clients.
    • Users sign in with their Tanium identity using OAuth. Every tool a user can discover or call is scoped to their existing Tanium RBAC.
    • Tanium supports statically registered OAuth clients. Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) is not supported.
    • OAuth clients must be scoped to Tanium roles. Assign users the MCP User Read Only role to grant access to the read-only toolset.
  • This release provides read-only tools across Tanium modules, organized into module-level toolsets.
  • Client-side tool filtering controls which tools each AI client loads, scoped by toolsets. Refer to Filtering tools.
  • The Tanium Expert Skill ships with the server and provides Tanium product guidance to the AI client alongside the tools, so the AI selects the correct module and forms requests correctly.
  • Refer User Guide at Tanium Atlas MCP Server
