Overview
Welcome to awsome-kali-MCPServers! This repository is a collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers designed specifically for Kali Linux environments. The goal is to enhance reverse engineering, security testing, and automation workflows by integrating powerful tools and flexible features. Whether you're a security researcher or a developer, this project aims to streamline your tasks with Kali Linux.
Quick Start
Follow these steps to quickly get started with kali-mcps:
- Build the Docker Image
First, build the Docker image, temporarily named kali-mcps. Run the following command in the project root directory:
docker build -t kali-mcps:latest .
- Launch an MCP Client
Ensure you have an MCP client installed, such as claude desktop, cline, goose, or roo code. Open your chosen MCP client.
- Configure the MCP Client
In your MCP client, create a configuration file (e.g., config.json) with the following content:
{
"mcpServers": {
"kali-docker": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "kali-mcps:latest"]
}
}
}"kali-docker"is the server name, which you can customize."command": "docker"specifies that Docker will be used to run the container."args"defines the Docker run parameters:-ienables interactive mode, andkali-mcps:latestis the image you just built.
- Use Kali Tools
Once configured, connect to the kali-mcps container via the MCP client and start using the built-in Kali tools (e.g., Nmap, nm, objdump, strings, tshark) for your tasks. Examples include:
- Run
basic_scanfor basic network scanning. - Run
disassembleto disassemble a target file. - Run
capture_liveto capture real-time network traffic.

What tools does Awsome Kali expose?
27 in total: 27 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Awsome Kali safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Awsome Kali need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does Awsome Kali run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (9635549dbd28), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
