AppOmni, the leader in SaaS security, today announced that AskOmni, its AI-powered SaaS security companion, now operates as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Built using the open source MCP that provides a standard interface for AI models to interact with external systems, this pivotal advancement enables seamless integration with security-focused AI agents and security platforms such as Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM), Network Detection and Response (NDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions. The AppOmni MCP server provides deep insights into SaaS identities, security posture, data exposures, and user behaviors to enable unparalleled threat investigations and analysis across the SaaS domain using agentic AI.

“The cyber threat landscape is complex, and for good security coverage, large organizations use upwards of 50+ different specialized security tools,” said Melissa Ruzzi, director of AI at AppOmni. “Integration of security tools is not just beneficial, it’s imperative for achieving holistic visibility and coordinated security decisions. The proper way to get the full benefit of integration is to go beyond ineffective data sharing to get investigative insights by integrating business logic. This approach overcomes the challenge of analysts and investigative tools requiring SaaS domain expertise to interpret raw SaaS configuration and activity data.”
The AskOmni MCP server integration delivers:
- SaaS security risk visibility: AI-enabled platforms can instantly access current risks around SaaS security misconfigurations and risky behaviors.
- Deeper insights on SaaS identities: External security tooling gets a seamless interface to the AskOmni AI agent network and to the deep and comprehensive investigations performed by AppOmni surrounding SaaS identities, benefiting from all SaaS expertise that exists within AskOmni.
As the world’s first MCP interface to SaaS security, the AskOmni MCP server instantly transforms into SaaS security experts the AI capabilities within tools such as SIEM, Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), Identity Access Management and Governance (IAM/IGA), XDR and EDR solutions.
By integrating AskOmni as an MCP server with other security tools, organizations gain a holistic view that simplifies security operations and results in more targeted and faster remediation actions. This holistic view, which includes SaaS security posture management, enables coordinated security decisions.
Rik Turner, senior principal analyst at Omdia, said: “Organizations are now using hundreds or more SaaS applications, but the associated risks are still not well understood, leaving apps under protected. AskOmni, AppOmni’s SaaS companion, leverages analytics, AI, and SaaS security expertise to analyze vast amounts of security data, uncover hidden risks, and give actionable recommendations to make informed decisions about strengthening security posture. Now as an MCP Server, the AskOmni functionality can be leveraged by other security tools. I see the AskOmni MCP Server delivering value to cloud security and SecOps teams in nearly every facet of their responsibilities.”
