Orca Security, the pioneer of agentless cloud security, has become the first cloud security platform to integrate support for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP). With this launch, Orca is empowering security teams to instantly retrieve and understand critical cloud security insights using Claude and other GenAI chatbots—without needing to log in to the Orca Platform. This breakthrough marks a significant step forward in streamlining cloud risk visibility through natural language interfaces, enabling faster decision-making and improved response times for modern security teams.
Unlocking the Promise of GenAI for Security Teams
Since the rise of generative AI, organizations have aimed to leverage internal data as contextual input for models to improve efficiency and insight. Yet, a key blocker has been the lack of a standardized method for securely and effectively interfacing large language models (LLMs) with external data sources.
Anthropic addressed this gap with the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—an open standard that enables LLMs to securely access and interact with private data environments. By supporting MCP, Orca now allows chatbots to query cloud security telemetry in natural language, making threat detection and compliance management more intuitive than ever.
“Security teams are always under pressure. They need answers fast and don’t have time to sift through reams of data,”
— Gil Geron, CEO and Co-founder, Orca Security
How It Works: Orca MCP Server + Unified Cloud Telemetry
- Orca MCP Server: A newly released secure server component that bridges Orca’s data layer with chatbots like Claude, running locally on desktop apps.
- Unified Data Model: Orca’s patented SideScanning™ technology fuels a centralized view of cloud assets, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identity risks, and compliance gaps.
- No Console Required: Users interact with chatbots (Claude or others) to ask real questions about their cloud security posture, risks, or compliance status—no platform navigation or query language needed.
This combination eliminates barriers and enables anyone—technical or not—to gain immediate insight into complex cloud environments.
Benefits for Security Professionals
- Faster Risk Assessment: Replace manual investigations with natural language prompts to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and policy violations.
- Increased Workflow Efficiency: Integrate AI chatbots into existing desktop environments, aligning with the pace and pressure of modern SecOps.
- Accessibility & Usability: Makes cloud security data comprehensible even to non-technical users or business leaders demanding instant insight.
- Improved Visibility: Combines deep telemetry with intuitive GenAI interfaces, surfacing insights that were previously buried in dashboards or hidden behind complex filters.
A Game-Changer in GenAI-Powered Cloud Security
For years, the challenge in cloud security hasn’t been the lack of data—it’s been making sense of it quickly. Orca’s integration with MCP removes the need for deep security expertise just to get basic answers. With conversational access to cloud risk assessments, security professionals gain a faster path to remediation, compliance assurance, and strategic planning.
“Universal access to Orca cloud security telemetry through any AI chatbot gives professionals the deep visibility that once required intensive, manual investigation,”
— Gil Geron, CEO
The Future of Cloud Security is Conversational
By bridging real-time cloud security data with AI-powered natural language interfaces, Orca is redefining what effective cloud security looks like. The support for MCP not only reflects Orca’s commitment to innovation but also reinforces its leadership in agentless, context-rich cloud protection.
Security teams now have a new tool in their arsenal—GenAI-powered visibility—to cut through complexity and focus on what matters most: securing their environments.
