Overview
Illumio MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides an interface to interact with Illumio's Policy Compute Engine (PCE), enabling programmatic access to workload management, label operations, and traffic flow analysis.
To use the Illumio MCP Server, clone the repository, install the required dependencies, and configure the server with your Illumio PCE credentials. You can then run the server using the uv command.
- Create, update, and delete workloads and labels. - Retrieve traffic summaries and perform security analysis. - Check PCE health and connectivity. - Comprehensive error handling and logging.
- Managing workloads in a cloud environment.
- Automating security analysis and traffic flow monitoring.
- Integrating with other tools for enhanced workload management.
