# Nightfall Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

The Nightfall MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to interact directly with your Nightfall security data. Instead of navigating dashboards or running API queries manually, you can use natural language to investigate violations, search for exfiltration events, review security posture, and take remediation actions.

**Key Benefits**

* **Natural Language Interface**: Ask questions in plain English instead of learning complex query syntax
* **Faster Investigations**: Get instant answers to security questions without switching between tools
* **Workflow Integration**: Access Nightfall data directly in your development and collaboration environments
* **Automated Analysis**: Let AI help you identify patterns, summarize findings, and recommend actions
