Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations tab. 2. Search for Malwarebytes MCP and click Connect. 3. Since this MCP uses no-auth mode, the connection completes immediately—no OAuth flow or API key entry required in Switchy itself. 4. Ensure your Malwarebytes API credentials are set in your local environment variables or MCP server configuration (consult Malwarebytes documentation for endpoint and token setup). 5. Return to any Project in Switchy and type '@Malwarebytes' in the chat. 6. Test the connection by asking '@Malwarebytes what devices have active threats?' or '@Malwarebytes show recent scan results'. 7. If the MCP returns data, you're ready; if it errors, verify your API credentials are correctly configured outside Switchy.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Malwarebytes MCP are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

How Switchy teams use it
Starter prompts
Active Threat Summary
@Malwarebytes show me all devices with active threats right now, grouped by severity level.
Scan Coverage Report
@Malwarebytes list devices that haven't completed a scan in the past seven days.
Quarantine Review
@Malwarebytes retrieve all quarantined files from the last 48 hours with file names and detection reasons.
Device Health Check
@Malwarebytes give me the full security status for device hostname 'LAPTOP-5729', including last scan and threat count.
Weekly Security Digest
@Malwarebytes create a summary of all threat detections and scan activity from the last seven days.
Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@Malwarebytes pull the last 7 days of threat detections and summarize which attack vectors we're seeing most
Analyzed 23 detections across the fleet (last 7 days). Dominant vectors: 14 phishing-linked downloads (61%), 6 browser exploit attempts (26%), 3 ransomware precursors (13%). Phishing detections cluster around finance@company emails. All ransomware attempts blocked at execution stage. Two endpoints (LAPTOP-03, DESKTOP-11) account for 65% of total detections — recommend user security training.
This example pairs the MCP's detection logs with AI reasoning to surface patterns. Useful for security posture reviews, but the AI's interpretation depends on log completeness — if endpoints were offline or protection was paused, gaps will skew the summary. Always cross-check with your SIEM for compliance reporting.
Use-case deep-dives
When Malwarebytes MCP helps support handle threat reports
A 6-person customer support team fields 20-30 threat reports daily from users who suspect malware. Without direct tool access yet, this MCP likely surfaces threat intelligence or scan results that let support reps confirm or dismiss alerts without escalating to IT. The win is speed: reps answer "is this file safe?" in chat instead of opening tickets. The trade-off is scope—if your team needs to trigger scans or quarantine files, you'll hit the MCP's read-only boundary fast. This works when support owns triage but not remediation. If your workflow is purely informational lookups during live chats, Malwarebytes MCP keeps the conversation moving.
Using Malwarebytes MCP to document endpoint protection status
A 10-person SaaS startup preparing for SOC 2 needs to prove endpoint protection is active and current across all devices. The MCP probably exposes device status, scan history, or policy compliance in a format your compliance lead can query during standup. The advantage is centralization: one workspace pulls the data instead of logging into a separate dashboard. The limitation is depth—if auditors want custom reports or historical trend analysis, the MCP's tool set may not cover it. This is the right call when you need quick status checks or to surface gaps before the auditor arrives, not when you're building a full compliance dashboard. For monthly check-ins, it's faster than context-switching.
When Malwarebytes MCP confirms new-hire device security
A 15-person distributed team onboards 2-3 remote hires monthly, and IT needs to verify each laptop has Malwarebytes installed and scanning before granting network access. The MCP likely lets IT query device enrollment or last-scan timestamps without opening the admin console. The payoff is workflow integration: IT runs the check in the same workspace where they're provisioning Slack and GitHub, not in a separate tab. The catch is automation—if you need to trigger installs or enforce policies, the MCP won't replace your MDM. This fits teams where verification is manual but frequent, and IT wants one fewer dashboard in the onboarding runbook. For sub-20 headcount, it's worth the setup.
Frequently asked
What does the Malwarebytes MCP do in Switchy?
The Malwarebytes MCP connects your team's security scanning and threat detection workflows to Switchy's AI workspace. Your team can query threat intelligence, check file hashes, and review security alerts without leaving the conversation. This keeps security context alongside your other work instead of siloed in a separate dashboard.
Does the Malwarebytes MCP require API credentials to connect?
No authentication is required for this MCP according to current configuration. This typically means it operates in read-only mode against public threat databases or uses a pre-configured service account. If your team needs write access or private threat feeds, you'll need to configure credentials separately through Malwarebytes' admin console.
Can this MCP trigger scans or quarantine threats automatically?
The MCP focuses on threat intelligence lookup and status checks rather than active remediation. You can query whether files or URLs are flagged as malicious, but initiating scans or quarantining files still happens through Malwarebytes' native interface. Think of it as a security reference tool, not a remote control for your endpoint protection.
Why use this MCP instead of checking Malwarebytes directly?
The MCP brings security context into your team's existing workflow. When someone pastes a suspicious link in Slack or shares a file hash during incident response, you can check it immediately without context-switching to another app. This speeds up triage and keeps the security conversation in one place with your other tools.
Who on my team should set up the Malwarebytes MCP?
Your security lead or IT admin should handle the initial connection, since they understand your threat detection policies and can verify the MCP is pulling from the correct Malwarebytes instance. Once connected, any team member can query threat data through Switchy without needing separate Malwarebytes access.
