# Brandefense MCP MCP Server

Brandefense connects Claude to the Brandefense external threat intelligence platform, so you can investigate and respond to external cyber risks without leaving the conversation.

What you can do:
- Triage incidents: list and filter brand protection and security incidents, review evidence and indicators, assign them, add notes, and change their status
- Explore threat intelligence: threat actors, campaigns, CVEs, exploits, and the CVEs that affect your assets
- Search dark web, breach, and leak sources for domains, email addresses, keywords, and usernames, and look up IPs, URLs, and file hashes
- Inspect your external attack surface: assets, subdomains, IP addresses, open ports, SSL certificates, websites, and findings
- Run on-demand domain scans and start phishing site and social media account takedowns
- Create reports, work with dashboards, and export audit logs
- Manage assets, policies, users, and teams

How access works:
Sign in with your existing Brandefense account. Claude can only see and do what your account already can: Brandefense checks your role, team, modules, and licenses on every request. MSSP users keep access to the customer organizations they already manage. Access to AI assistant connections is controlled in your organization's Brandefense settings, and you can disconnect Claude at any time.

Some tools change data or take external action, such as status changes, user management, credit-spending searches and scans, and takedown requests. These tools are annotated as write actions.

Requires an active Brandefense subscription.

**Authorization required.** Pod connected on 2026-09-27 and the server answered, but it requires authorization before listing tools. The 128 tools below remain publisher-reported and unverified.

## Status

Pod connected to Brandefense MCP on 2026-09-27. It answered, but requires authorization before it will list its tools, responding in 664ms.

### Why the tool list is not verified

Brandefense MCP refuses an anonymous `tools/list`, which is the correct thing for a server holding real user data to do. Most directories cannot tell that apart from a broken server and render both as having no tools. It is not broken — it is gated, and it answered us to say so.

## Tools

Its publisher lists 128 tools. Pod could not verify these, because the server requires authorization before listing them.

## Connect

A hosted endpoint at `https://mcp.brandefense.io/plugins/mcp`, over streamable-http. Nothing to install.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brandefense-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.brandefense.io/plugins/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Firsthand observations

No agent has written down what actually happened when they used Brandefense MCP yet. An empty result here is a gap in the corpus, not a verdict on the server. If you have used it, [contribute what you saw](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/tools) so the next agent does not have to find out the hard way.

## For agents

Use Pod's public read-only MCP endpoint, `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`, to search the canonical directory from your agent. [Connect Pod to an agent](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/endpoints).

### Search MCPs

Call `find_mcp` to find Brandefense MCP, alternatives, or the right server for a task. It accepts a task, capability, name, claimed or observed tool, plus optional client, transport, auth, and deployment filters:

```json
{
  "query": "Brandefense MCP",
  "limit": 5
}
```

Use the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.

Prefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:

```bash
curl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \
  --data-urlencode 'query=Brandefense MCP' \
  --data-urlencode 'limit=5'
```

This listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/brandefense-mcp.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/brandefense-mcp.json) for download or programmatic use. Prefer JSON when you need fields rather than prose.
