## What it does

This server connects Proofpoint threat intelligence with AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol. Connected models can inspect Targeted Attack Protection records, evaluate DLP policy violations, trace emails, and view Very Attacked People metrics. The `proofpoint_threat_get_by_id` tool returns visual interactive cards showing campaign names and malware families in compatible hosts.

Deployments run via standard input/output or over HTTP. In HTTP transport mode, the process enforces HMAC verification through `CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET` and exits immediately if placeholder passwords are detected. Setting valid TAP API credentials is mandatory for fetching threat data.

## Requirements
- Needs: Docker
- Environment variables: `PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL`, `PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_SECRET`, `PROOFPOINT_BASE_URL`, `MCP_TRANSPORT`, `AUTH_MODE`, `LOG_LEVEL` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add --env PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL=<PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL> --env PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_SECRET=<PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_SECRET> --env PROOFPOINT_BASE_URL=<PROOFPOINT_BASE_URL> --env MCP_TRANSPORT=<MCP_TRANSPORT> --env AUTH_MODE=<AUTH_MODE> --transport stdio proofpoint -- docker run -i --rm -e PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL -e PROOFPOINT_SERVICE_SECRET -e PROOFPOINT_BASE_URL -e MCP_TRANSPORT -e AUTH_MODE ghcr.io/wyre-ai/proofpoint-mcp:v1.1.6
