README

Red Hat Lightspeed MCP

(formerly known as Insights MCP)

Red Hat Lightspeed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is a lightweight, self-hosted solution that connects LLM-based agents - such as Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible tools - to Red Hat Lightspeed services.

Features

Supports read-only operations: The server runs in read-only mode by default. Use --all-tools to enable write tools (e.g. create blueprints, run composes). RBAC permissions can also restrict access.
Provides natural language prompts: provides an ability to use natural language for querying Red Hat Lightspeed services

Supported Lightspeed Services

Setup and usage

Authentication

Note: Authentication is only required for accessing Red Hat Lightspeed APIs. The MCP server itself does not require authentication.

There are two ways to authenticate:

Service Account (client_id + client_secret) — create a service account and provide the credentials via environment variables or HTTP headers.
JWT Bearer Token — provide a pre-existing JWT token via the Authorization: Bearer <token> HTTP header (SSE/HTTP transports only).

Service Account Setup

Go to https://console.redhat.com → Click Settings (⚙️ Gear Icon) → "Service Accounts"
Create a service account and remember Client ID and Client secret for later.
See below in the integration instructions, there they are respectively referred to as LIGHTSPEED_CLIENT_ID and LIGHTSPEED_CLIENT_SECRET.

Required Permissions by Toolset

Different toolsets require specific roles for your service account:

Advisor tools: RHEL Advisor viewer
Inventory tools: Inventory Hosts viewer
Vulnerability tools: Vulnerability viewer, Inventory Hosts viewer
Remediation tools: Remediations user

Granting Permissions to Service Accounts

By default, service accounts have no access. An organization administrator must assign permissions. The MCP server will only be able to perform tasks that it has permission to perform. For example, if the user wants to allow read-only operations and deny write operations, this can be accomplished via the permissions system.

For detailed step-by-step instructions, see this video tutorial: Service Account Permissions Setup

Log in as Organization Administrator with User Access administrator role
Navigate to User Access Settings: Click Settings (⚙️ Gear Icon) → "User Access" → "Groups"
Assign permissions (choose one option):

Option A - Create New Group:
- Create new group (e.g., mcp-service-accounts)
- Add required roles (e.g., RHEL Advisor viewer, Inventory Hosts viewer, etc.)
- Add your service account to this group
Option B - Use Existing Group:
- Open existing group with necessary roles
- Go to "Service accounts" tab
- Add your service account to the group

Your service account will inherit all roles from the assigned group.

⚠️ Security Remarks ⚠️
