Overview

Illumio MCP Server is a Machine Conversation Protocol server that facilitates interactions 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 dependencies, and configure it using the uv command to run with the required environment variables and API credentials for accessing an Illumio PCE instance.

  • Programmatic access to workload management - Operations for creating, updating, and deleting workloads - Comprehensive label operations (creation, deletion, retrieval) - Traffic flow analysis with detailed reports and summaries - Robust error handling and logging capabilities
  1. Automating the management of workloads in Illumio PCE.
  2. Managing security labels for enhanced policy enforcement.
  3. Analyzing network traffic flows for security assessments.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-illumio-mcp-server-alexgoller"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline
