README
Ludus FastMCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for automating Ludus cyber range environments through AI assistants written in Python.
Overview
Ludus FastMCP enables AI-powered management of Ludus cyber ranges through natural language commands. The server exposes 190+ tools across 20 modules for range lifecycle management, scenario deployment, template creation, Ansible role management, and security monitoring integration.
Supports both Ludus v1 and v2 with automatic version detection. All existing v1 tools work unchanged, and v2 adds blueprints, groups, VM console, diagnostics, enhanced range management, and more.
Key Capabilities
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Range Management | Create, configure, deploy, and manage virtual lab environments |
| Blueprints | Save, share, and apply reusable range configurations (v2) |
| Groups | Organize users and ranges with group-based access control (v2) |
| Scenario Deployment | Pre-built scenarios for AD, red/blue/purple team, and malware analysis |
| Template Builder | Custom OS templates, skeleton configurations, and YAML generation |
| Role Management | Ansible Galaxy integration, custom roles, and subscription roles |
| SIEM Integration | Wazuh, Splunk, Elastic Stack, and Security Onion support |
| AI Configuration | Natural language to YAML configuration conversion |
| Diagnostics | System health, license info, and migration tools (v2) |
Supported Platforms
Works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, VS Code (Cline), OpenWebUI, and AnythingLLM.

Example Interactions
Once connected to an MCP client, interact with your Ludus environment:
Show my current range status
Deploy an Active Directory lab with Wazuh monitoring
Create a snapshot named "pre-attack" for all VMs
Build a lab with 2 domain controllers and 5 workstations
Create a blueprint from my current range and share it with the red-team group
Show system diagnostics and storage usage
List all groups and their members
Examples of using Ludus-FastMCP with grok code through Opencode.
