tracecat

Introduction

Tracecat is the open source security automation platform for teams and AI agents. A unified platform with everything AI-native security teams need to build agents and automate cyber defense.

Core Features

Unlimited agents, cases, lookup tables, and workflows.

Agents and skills — build custom agents with prompts, tools, MCP, subagents, and skills	Case management — track, automate, and resolve incidents with agents
Workflows — execute deterministic logic with resilience and scale on Temporal	Tables — store and query structured data
Tracecat MCP — turn prompts into automations from Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and more	Integrations — 100+ pre-built connectors and 50+ hosted MCP servers for security tools

Other Highlights

• Pre-built MCP servers: 50+ Tracecat-hosted MCP servers for security operations
• MCP client: connect custom agents any MCP server (remote HTTP / OAuth or local via npx / uvx commands)
• Custom registry: sync custom Python scripts from your Git repo into Tracecat
• Sandboxed: run untrusted code and agents within nsjail sandboxes or pid runtimes
• Durable execution: built on Temporal for resilience and scale
• Variables: reuse values across workflows and agents
• No SSO tax: SAML / OIDC support
• Free audit logs: exportable into your SIEM
• Deploy anywhere: sign up for Tracecat Cloud, or self-host with Docker, AWS Fargate, or Kubernetes. Runs fully air-gapped.

Enterprise Edition

• Multi-tenant: isoated different teams and dev / prod environments into workspaces
• Fine-grained access control: RBAC, ABAC, OAuth2.0 scopes for humans and agents
• Human-in-the-loop: review and approve sensitive tools calls from a unified inbox, Slack, or email
• Workspace version control: sync workflows, agents, and table schemas to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.
• Metrics and monitoring: for workflows, agents, and cases
