⚙️ Usage

Use the local version in Cursor IDE

1. Open Settings → MCP tab
2. Click "Add new global MCP server"
3. Paste the following configuration in the mcp.json file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
      "PANW-AI-Security": {
        "command": "python",
        "args": [
          "~/ai/cursor/panw-mcp-server/local-version/src/panw_airs_mcp_local.py"
        ],
        "env": {
          "AIRS_API_KEY": "APIKEY",
          "AIRS_PROFILENAME": "PROFILENAME"
        }
      }
    }
  }

Start SSE version locally

There are currently two versions of python files. If v2 is used, the key will be obtained directly from the http request without setting the environment variable. For details, see Call 3 in Dify.

1. Set environment variables

export AIRS_API_KEY="your API key"
export AIRS_PROFILENAME="your profile name"

2. Run the server:

python sse-version/src/panw_airs_mcp_sse.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

3. The server will start on http://localhost:8080
4. Configure your MCP client to connect to this URL
