  • 🐍 Python Toolkits: via python_tools.sh
  • 🏗 Go Toolkits: via go_tools.sh
  • 📂 Wordlists & Templates: wordlists.sh, nuclei_templates.sh

Extension:

  • Add custom installer in extras-installer/modules/
  • Declare tools in config.json
  • Verify via /capabilities_ext

🚀 Quick Start (Docker Compose)

git clone <repo-url>
cd KALI_MCP_SERVER
docker compose up -d --build

👉 Health check:

curl -H "x-api-key:your-secret-key" http://127.0.0.1:8080/health

extras-installer/   # optional extra tool installers
mcp_server.py       # FastAPI + JSON-RPC
config.json         # tool declarations
Dockerfile
docker-compose.yml
.env

🛠 Operations

🔗 Endpoints

  • POST / → JSON-RPC (initialize, tools/list, tools/call)
  • GET /jobs/{job_id}/sse → Live logs
  • GET /jobs/poll → Poll logs
  • POST /jobs/cancel → Cancel job
  • GET /capabilities_ext → Tool registry
  • GET /health → Health probe

📜 Call Example

List tools

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/   -H "content-type: application/json" -H "x-api-key: your-secret-key"   -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

Async call

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/   -H "content-type: application/json" -H "x-api-key: your-secret-key"   -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"job1","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"nmap_scan","arguments":{"host":"scanme.nmap.org","async":true}}}'

🖥 Integrate with Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kali-mcp": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8080",
      "timeout": 0,
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "your-secret-key" }
    }
  }
}

✨ 特点

  • 声明式工具定义(config.json)
  • 同步/异步调用,实时日志(SSE)
  • /capabilities_ext 自动列出工具与二进制版本
  • 可选 x-api-key 鉴权 🔐

🧰 支持工具

内置常用渗透测试工具(Docker 镜像预装):

  • 🔍 端口/服务探测:nmap
  • 🌐 Web 应用测试:sqlmap、wpscan、nikto、whatweb、dirb、dirsearch、feroxbuster、gobuster
  • 🕵 信息收集:amass(子域名枚举)
  • 🔒 SSL/TLS 检测:sslyze、testssl.sh
  • 🛡 WAF/中间件:wafw00f、joomscan
  • ⚡ 模糊测试/爆破:ffuf
  • 🐍 Python 工具集:通过 python_tools.sh 安装
  • 🏗 Go 工具集:通过 go_tools.sh 安装
  • 📂 字典/模板:wordlists.sh、nuclei_templates.sh

扩展能力:

  • 在 extras-installer/modules/ 新增自定义安装脚本
  • 在 config.json 声明新工具
  • 通过 /capabilities_ext 自动检测二进制可用性与版本

🚀 快速开始

docker compose up -d --build

👉 健康检查:

curl -H "x-api-key:your-secret-key" http://127.0.0.1:8080/health

🔗 接口列表

  • POST / → JSON-RPC (initialize、tools/list、tools/call)
  • GET /jobs/{job_id}/sse → 实时日志
  • GET /jobs/poll → 轮询日志
  • POST /jobs/cancel → 取消任务
  • GET /capabilities_ext → 工具能力
  • GET /health → 健康检查

🖥 在 Cursor 中接入

在 ~/.cursor/mcp.json 添加:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kali-mcp": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8080",
