Claude Desktop - Pathfinder + CrowdStrike MCP servers - quick guide

Why We Built This

BeyondTrust and CrowdStrike both ship native Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers: Pathfinder MCP for identity and privilege data, Falcon MCP for detections and threat telemetry. Used separately, each lets an AI agent query one platform. Wired together behind a single conversational agent, they let a security analyst ask one question and get an answer that spans both platforms — for example, whether an identity's privilege exposure lines up with what's actually happening on the detection side.

 

Better together:  Next-Gen SIEM + Pathfinder.

 

 

 

Configure CrowdStrike

To configure Claude Desktop for the CrowdStrike Falcon MCP server, you need to set up your CrowdStrike API credentials and update your claude_desktop_config.json file:

 

    "falcon-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"falcon-mcp"
],
"env": {
"FALCON_CLIENT_ID": "<Your_client_id>",
"FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET": "<Your_client_secret>",
"FALCON_BASE_URL": "https://api.us-2.crowdstrike.com"
}
}

 

For documentation:  CrowdStrike documentation - MCP

 

Note:  The regions Url (us-2) may be different for your instance.

 

Configure BeyondTrust Pathfinder

To configure Pathfinder MCP, add your MCP server to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

 

    "pathfinder": {
"command": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe",
"args": [
"C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\mcp-remote\\dist\\proxy.js",
"https://mcp.beyondtrust.io/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer <Your_MCP_Token>",
"--transport",
"http-only"
]
},

 

Configure Pathfinder MCP

 

Once both MCP servers are connected, you can ask Claude to help you with various investigations and reports that are leveraging both platforms.
