Bitdefender GravityZone

Bitdefender GravityZone MCP Server

MCP server for Bitdefender GravityZone's Control Center API - endpoint/network inventory, security policies, the account-wide malware-hash Blocklist, and scheduled/instant reports - for AI assistants and the WYRE Conduit gateway.

New call shape for this catalog: GravityZone's API is JSON-RPC 2.0, not REST - every other Conduit sidecar (Cork, CyberQP, Slide, UniFi, Cisco Duo) calls a conventional REST API. See Authentication and JSON-RPC shape below.

Authentication

GravityZone authenticates with HTTP Basic Authentication (RFC 2617): the API key is sent as the username, with an empty password - Authorization: Basic base64(apiKey + ":"). This is also a new shape for this catalog - every other static-key connector here (Cork, CyberQP, Slide, UniFi) sends a custom X-Vendor-Api-Key header that the sidecar turns into a Bearer token; GravityZone has no bearer-token concept at all.

API keys are generated in Control Center under My Account -> API keys, and each key is scoped, at generation time, to a checklist of API areas (Network, Policies, Reports, Incidents, Companies, Licensing, Accounts, Packages, Integrations, Push, Quarantine). This connector's key needs the Network, Policies, Reports, and Incidents areas selected - the other seven are never called and do not need to be enabled.

This connector also needs the account's Control Center Access URL (shown on that same My Account page, under Control Center API) - GravityZone Cloud, its EU region, and any self-hosted/on-premise Control Center each have a different API host, so unlike most vendors in this catalog there is no single fixed base URL to hardcode.

In gateway mode, both arrive per-request via the X-Bitdefender-Api-Key and X-Bitdefender-Access-Url headers; in local/stdio mode they're read once from BITDEFENDER_API_KEY and BITDEFENDER_ACCESS_URL.

JSON-RPC shape

GravityZone exposes several separate JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoints, one per product area, at <accessUrl>/v1.0/jsonrpc/<area> (e.g. /v1.0/jsonrpc/network, /v1.0/jsonrpc/policies). Every call to a given area - whatever it does - is an HTTP POST to that same URL with an identical envelope:

{ "id": "<uuid>", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "getEndpointsList", "params": { "parentId": "..." } }

The operation lives entirely inside the body (method + params), never in the URL or HTTP verb - there is no GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE distinction to key a read-only boundary off of, unlike every REST sidecar in this catalog. This connector's read-only scope is therefore enforced by only ever calling documented getXxx/listXxx method names (see Scope below and client.ts's jsonRpcCall()), not by restricting HTTP verbs.

A successful call returns { "id", "jsonrpc", "result": ... }. A failed call can come back two ways, and this connector's client.ts distinguishes both:

• HTTP-layer failure - 401 (bad/missing key), 403 (the key doesn't have this API area enabled - see above), 405 (non-POST), or 429 (rate limit).
• JSON-RPC-layer failure - HTTP 200 with a body error member ({code, message, data.details}, e.g. -32602 Invalid params).

Rate limit: 10 requests/second per API key; GravityZone returns 429 above that.

Configuration

Request limits

• HTTP request bodies are capped at 256 KiB (262144 bytes). After the X-Gateway-S2S check passes, a Content-Length above the cap returns 413 with a JSON-RPC error; bodies without Content-Length are capped by the MCP SDK transport. Unauthenticated requests still get 401 first.
• tools/call arguments are capped at 10,000 elements (every array item and object key at any depth). Larger inputs return an isError tool result and are never dispatched.

These limits address CVE-2026-111768 / GHSA-46jr-4wx8-v453 (memory exhaustion during validation) and GHSA-f897-62hf-6gxq (no request body / batch cap).

Tools

Network - endpoint/network inventory

• bitdefender_list_endpoints - list managed/unmanaged endpoints (name, FQDN, IP, MACs, group, agent flags), optionally scoped and filtered.
• bitdefender_get_endpoint - full detail for one managed endpoint (agent version, license status, scan/update status).
• bitdefender_list_custom_groups - list the child groups under a Network Inventory group.
• bitdefender_list_network_inventory - list inventory items (groups, computers, VMs, EC2 instances) with per-type filtering.
• bitdefender_list_scan_tasks - list previously created on-demand scan tasks and their status.

Policies

• bitdefender_list_policies - list security policies available to the account.
• bitdefender_get_policy - get full settings for one security policy.

Incidents

• bitdefender_list_blocklist_items - list file hashes present in the account's Blocklist.

Reports

• bitdefender_list_reports - list scheduled/instant reports configured on the account.
• bitdefender_get_report_download_links - check download readiness and get a report's download URL(s).

Scope

This is a deliberately narrow, read-only v1 surface: exactly 10 of GravityZone's getXxx/listXxx methods across the Network, Policies, Incidents, and Reports APIs. Every tool is classified isAdmin: true in the Conduit gateway - GravityZone is an endpoint-protection product, so every read this connector exposes (endpoint IP/MAC/hostname inventory, security policy settings, malware-hash blocklist entries, security posture reports) is security/PII-adjacent by construction. No mutating (create/update/delete/move/set/add/remove) method is implemented, by design, not by oversight:

Hard-excluded (Network API) - never implemented:

• createCustomGroup, deleteCustomGroup, moveCustomGroup - group provisioning/mutation.
• moveEndpoints, deleteEndpoint - endpoint mutation/removal.
• createScanTask - dispatches a real on-demand scan to a real managed endpoint. bitdefender_list_scan_tasks (read) stays; this does not.
• setEndpointLabel - endpoint mutation.

Hard-excluded (Incidents API) - never implemented:

• addToBlocklist, removeFromBlocklist - Blocklist mutation. bitdefender_list_blocklist_items (read) stays; these do not.
• createIsolateEndpointTask, createRestoreEndpointFromIsolationTask - genuine remote-response actions that isolate/restore a real managed endpoint from the network.

Hard-excluded (Reports API) - never implemented:

• createReport - creates a new scheduled/instant report definition.
• deleteReport - deletes a report definition.

Out of scope entirely (not requested, not implemented): the Companies, Licensing, Accounts, Packages, Integrations, Push, and Quarantine APIs. Quarantine in particular (getQuarantineItemsList and its createRemove/Restore*QuarantineItemTask write methods) was in Bitdefender's own catalog of API areas but outside this connector's requested scope (endpoint/network inventory, policies, incidents, reports); it can be added as a deliberate follow-up if there's demand, not by default.

They can be added as a follow-up if there's demand, after a deliberate scope decision - not by default.

Credential scope

Two-tier confidence split, per this catalog's convention for a claim about what a credential can and cannot reach:

• STRUCTURALLY VERIFIED - this connector's own code never calls a mutating JSON-RPC method: confirmed against client.ts/tools/*.ts, only the 10 documented getXxx/listXxx methods listed under Tools are ever sent, no passthrough/arbitrary-method call exists anywhere in src/. This connector is read-only by construction.
• VENDOR-DOCUMENTED, AND THE FINDING RUNS THE OTHER WAY - GravityZone's own API-key generation UI (Control Center -> My Account -> API keys) only gates access per API area (Network/Policies/Reports/Incidents/...), confirmed against Bitdefender's official API Guide (Getting Started section 1.3, "API Keys": "Each API key allows the application to call methods exposed by one or several APIs. The allowed APIs are selected at the time the API key is generated"). There is no documented per-method or read/write permission flag. A key with the Network area enabled can call getEndpointsList (read) and moveEndpoints/deleteEndpoint/createScanTask (write) - the same area, the same permission checkbox, no finer-grained scoping exists on Bitdefender's side. This connector's read-only posture is enforced entirely by its own code, not by any narrower credential scope GravityZone itself offers - the same posture this catalog's other security-product connectors (Cork, CyberQP, Cisco Duo) already document for their own admin-tier classification, stated once here for the credential-scope question specifically.
