mcp.tc/i/microsoft-sentinellisting.about
Connects to the Microsoft Sentinel data lake and lets an assistant find relevant tables and retrieve security data using natural language. It is aimed at building security agents, for example hunts for password spray, impossible travel, multi-factor authentication failures and dormant accounts that become active again.
It runs as a hosted remote endpoint over streamable HTTP at https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration. Users sign in with Microsoft Entra ID through OAuth 2.0, and a Microsoft Sentinel data lake is required. Nothing needs to be installed locally.

Claude Code
- Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http microsoft-sentinel https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration- Start Claude Code, type
/mcp, pick microsoft-sentinel and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Microsoft sign-in.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.
Claude Desktop
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
- Name it Microsoft Sentinel Data Exploration and paste this URL:
https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration- Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Microsoft asks.
Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.
claude.ai
- Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
- Check that the URL reads
https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-explorationand click Add. - Click Connect and sign in when Microsoft asks.
Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.
ChatGPT
- On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to
chatgpt.com/pluginsand click + to create an app for a remote MCP server. - Paste
https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-explorationas the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Microsoft to sign in.
Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.
Cursor
Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"microsoft-sentinel": {
"url": "https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration"
}
}
}Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.
VS Code
Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab
Or from a terminal:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"microsoft-sentinel","type":"http","url":"https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration"}'Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"microsoft-sentinel": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration"
}
}
}VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.
Devin Desktop
- Add it to
~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json(macOS and Linux) or%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json(Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"microsoft-sentinel": {
"serverUrl": "https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration"
}
}
}- Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.
Codex
codex mcp add microsoft-sentinel --url https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration
codex mcp login microsoft-sentinelOr edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:
[mcp_servers.microsoft-sentinel]
url = "https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration"Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http microsoft-sentinel https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-explorationThen, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth microsoft-sentinel to sign in.
This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.
Any client
Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"microsoft-sentinel": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration"
}
}
}Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.
Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration.
listing.faq
Can I paste mcp.tc/i/microsoft-sentinel into my MCP client?
No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration, so your client talks to Microsoft Sentinel Data Exploration directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.
Does Microsoft Sentinel Data Exploration need an API key or a sign-in?
Yes, you need a Microsoft account. The first time your client connects, it opens Microsoft's sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.
Is Microsoft Sentinel Data Exploration a remote or a local server?
Remote. Microsoft hosts it at https://sentinel.microsoft.com/mcp/data-exploration, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.
What can Microsoft Sentinel Data Exploration do?
You can search for relevant tables in the Sentinel data lake, retrieve data from the Sentinel data lake in natural language and build agents that hunt for password-spray patterns.
Which clients can use it?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.
Who wrote this page?
mcp.tc's robot read Microsoft Sentinel Data Exploration's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
