The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint AI agent support matrix identifies the local AI agents and related scenarios that Defender supports for discovery and runtime protection. Discovery support and runtime protection support are listed separately because they have different operating system and integration requirements.
Only supported combinations appear in the matrix. If a combination isn't listed, it isn't currently documented as supported.
AI agent discovery support
AI agent discovery identifies local AI agents and their configured Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers on onboarded devices. The Name values in these tables correspond to the Name column in the AgentsInfo advanced hunting table. The Vendor values correspond to RawAgentInfo.localAgentMetadata.vendor.
Discovery is activity based. Defender lists an agent after it observes agent activity on an onboarded device. Installing an agent doesn't by itself guarantee that the agent appears in the local AI agent inventory. For more information about how Defender observes agent activity and how this inventory differs from an inventory of installed software, see Local AI agent discovery with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
A checkmark in the Discovers MCP column indicates that Defender reports remote MCP server data in McpServers and local MCP server data in RawAgentInfo.localAgentMetadata.localMcps. A dash indicates that MCP server configuration discovery isn't documented for that combination.
A checkmark in the Discovers agent column indicates that Defender supports discovery of that local AI agent.
Use the values in the Name and Vendor columns in your advanced hunting queries. For examples, see Get an inventory of local AI agents and Review the MCP servers and tools that local AI agents use.
Note
For runtime protection support, see AI agent runtime protection support.

AI agent runtime protection support
Support is organized by the method Defender uses to inspect agent activity.
Runtime protection support doesn't indicate that protection is enabled on a device. To configure audit or block mode, see Set up AI agent runtime protection with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
A dash indicates that a mode or minimum version doesn't apply or isn't specified.
Windows (preview)
The following tables list agent and inspection method combinations on Windows.
Agent-native event inspection
Agent-native event inspection uses vendor-supported event interfaces. The hooks documentation links describe the applicable vendor interface.
