Security integration · Beta
Evaluate the Cisco Umbrella MCP server for your MSP stack.
The Stackyapper Cisco Umbrella connection is available for evaluation. Beta apps may change and should begin with a small set of read-only tools.
What is the Stackyapper Cisco Umbrella MCP integration?
The Stackyapper Cisco Umbrella integration lets compatible AI clients use approved Cisco Umbrella tools without receiving the provider credential.
What can the Cisco Umbrella integration do?
DNS-layer security and threat intelligence — deployments, policies, reporting, App Discovery, API usage, and Investigate.
Available tools depend on the provider account, workspace settings, and the signed-in user’s permissions.
Who is the Cisco Umbrella MCP integration for?
It is for MSP teams that need approved Cisco Umbrella context available to an AI assistant while keeping provider authorization inside the selected Stackyapper workspace.

| Customer access | MSP workspace only |
Start in a test workspace with one read-only tool and a request for no more than five records.
What can an MSP use it for?
- Review approved Cisco Umbrella context during a security workflow.
- Ask an authorized AI client to summarize permitted Cisco Umbrella results before a human decision.
- Use the Cisco Umbrella connection alongside another permitted business system when the workflow needs that information.
Exact tools depend on provider authorization, credential ownership, workspace settings, and the signed-in user’s permissions.
What should I expect?
| Provider scope | DNS-layer security and threat intelligence — deployments, policies, reporting, App Discovery, API usage, and Investigate. |
|---|---|
| Available tools | Compatible clients see only the tools available to the signed-in user in the selected workspace. |
| Write actions | If a write tool is available, Stackyapper applies its permissions and confirmation requirements before it runs. |
| API coverage | This page lists the capabilities Stackyapper currently supports, not every endpoint in the provider API. |
How is Cisco Umbrella access controlled?
- An administrator connects Cisco Umbrella in the intended Stackyapper workspace.
- The administrator grants available tools to specific workspaces, groups, or people.
- Stackyapper resolves the connection within the current credential and tenant scope.
- Stackyapper checks permissions and safety controls again before every request.
- Actions that require confirmation do not execute until the exact request is confirmed.
Does Cisco Umbrella send its API credential to Claude or ChatGPT?
No. Stackyapper keeps the encrypted provider credential secure and does not send it to the AI client.
How do I evaluate the Cisco Umbrella beta?
- Create or select a non-production Stackyapper workspace.
- Find Cisco Umbrella in the app catalog and request beta access if it is not enabled.
- Use the provider authorization described above with the narrowest practical permissions.
- Grant only the read-only tool needed for the evaluation.
- Request no more than five records, confirm the result in Audit, and expand access only when the test succeeds.
Support boundaries
- Stackyapper does not claim that every endpoint in the Cisco Umbrella API is exposed.
- Provider plan, account configuration, API scopes, and upstream availability can limit results.
- Administrators are responsible for correct provider permissions and user grants.
- Support status and available tools can change as provider capabilities evolve.
