If you would like to be using antivirus software on this server, you or your security team should find a way to configure it in a way that would not interfere with Nagios XI. Use of other applications on the server is possible, but not recommended.
According to our official documentation:
Attempting to install Nagios XI on a pre-existing system with other applications already installed can cause the Nagios XI installation process to fail, critical system components and settings (e.g. database servers) to be modified in a way that negatively affects other applications, and previously installed applications to be automatically upgraded or removed. While installing XI on a system with other applications is possible, it is not recommended due to the possible interactions and complexity of multiple components that are required for Nagios XI to function. If you choose to ignore these warnings, you do so at your own risk.

We do not have any guides/documents on configuring mcafee on a Nagios XI machine. Having said that, you are entitled to a "Test/Lab Environment" instance of Nagios XI, so you could try the mcafee configurations on the "Test" server, prior to implementing them in production.
