Module 22: Prowler MCP + Claude Code Setup
Track 5 · Prowler + Claude Code · Time: ~1h 45 min · Pass: 8/10
Scenario
Cloudsmiths' platform engineers live in their editors and terminal. The CISO wants them to interact with Prowler without context-switching. You'll wire Prowler MCP into Claude Code so every engineer can ask Prowler anything, and Prowler can answer with structured tool calls, not screenshots.
Learning objectives
- Install Claude Code (CLI) and verify it's working.
- Add the Prowler MCP server to Claude Code.
- Distinguish STDIO vs. HTTP MCP modes.
- Enumerate the tools Prowler MCP exposes.
- Run your first MCP-driven Prowler query.
- Explain why Prowler MCP is the backbone of the Agentic Cloud Defender: agents reason, Prowler is the source of truth.
- Map the six-step Find → Prioritize → Explain → Plan → Execute → Verify loop to real Prowler MCP tools.
- Connect other MCP-capable agents (Claude app, GitHub Copilot, Codex/ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini CLI, custom agents) and apply guardrails.
