Overview

Tracecat is an open source SOAR platform for security teams. It combines workflows, case management and AI agents that reach tools such as SIEM, EDR, IdP and cloud providers via prebuilt integrations and hosted MCP servers, with loops, conditions, parallel subflows and Python, Bash or Ansible scripts. Agents can pause for human approval, and prompts and tool calls are logged.

Best for: Security teams self-hosting SOAR who want to build AI agents over their existing tooling
Pricing: The Open Source edition is free forever to self-host; Enterprise is custom-priced and quoted after a demo, with no figures published.
Runs on: Self-hosted
