Avanan MCP — Claude Code MCP server: features and installation
Connect an AI agent to Avanan API operations for shift-start triage, phishing campaign grouping, and message history checks. It also supports rollups across an MSP customer fleet.
Open on GitHubWhat Avanan MCP does
Avanan MCP gives an agent access to Avanan API operations. It can help triage at the start of a shift, cluster phishing campaigns, trace an individual message’s lifecycle, and look for an exception across seven security engines. MSP fleet rollups are also part of the connector.
You can install it as a Claude Code plugin or use the installer for the CLI and MCP server. Authentication requires Avanan application credentials from the portal: AVANAN_APP_ID and AVANAN_CLIENT_SECRET, followed by a session token for the relevant region. The server uses stdio. Do not put it behind a stdio-to-HTTP bridge: the bridge has no password.
What it helps with
- Triage Avanan alerts at shift start
- Group messages from a phishing campaign
- Trace an individual message’s lifecycle
- Find an exception across the security engines
- Roll up results across an MSP customer fleet
Example prompts for the agent
- Triage Avanan at the start of the shift and flag suspicious messages.
- Group the messages that belong to the same phishing campaign.
- Trace this message’s history and check for a related security-engine exception.
