[](https://smithery.ai/server/mcp-osint) MCP server to perform various OSINT tasks by leveraging common network reconnaissance tools.
Overview
The mcp-osint server provides a set of tools to perform open source intelligence (OSINT) investigations. It supports executing commands such as WHOIS lookups, Nmap scans, DNS reconnaissance (via dnsrecon, dig, and host), and domain permutation checks using dnstwist. Additionally, the server offers a consolidated tool to run all these functions in parallel for a comprehensive overview.
OSINT Capabilities
- WHOIS Lookup
- Retrieve domain registration information.
- Nmap Scan
- Perform a fast Nmap scan to discover open ports and services.
- DNS Reconnaissance
- Use
dnsreconto gather DNS information for a target domain.
- DNSTwist Lookup
- Identify potential domain typosquatting or permutation issues using
dnstwist.
- Dig Lookup
- Query detailed DNS records with
dig.
- Host Lookup
- Retrieve DNS host information using the
hostcommand.
- OSINT Overview
- Execute all of the above tools concurrently for a quick and comprehensive OSINT report.
Example Prompts
When integrated with Claude, you can use natural language prompts like:
- "Get me the WHOIS information for example.com"
- "Perform a fast Nmap scan on 192.168.1.1"
- "Run DNS reconnaissance on mytarget.com"
- "Check for domain typos using DNSTwist on mytarget.com"
- "Show me all DNS records for example.com using dig"
- "Fetch host lookup details for example.com"
- "Give me an OSINT overview for example.com"

Questions
What tools does OSINT Tools expose?
7 in total: 7 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is OSINT Tools safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (88/100). 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 OSINT Tools need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does OSINT Tools 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 (4f324aa04f90), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
