MCP.Pizza Chef: ccq1

Twenty-seven ready-made commands wrap six command-line security tools, covering network scanning, route tracing, symbol listing, disassembly, readable-text extraction, and packet inspection. Three things to know first: the advertised safe sandbox mode is commented out of the source and never runs, so every command executes directly with no time limit; the image is plain Debian with a few tools added rather than actual Kali Linux; and it writes a startup sentence onto the channel your app reads replies from. Your own files stay invisible to it unless you add a folder share yourself.

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:

  1. 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 .
  1. 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.
  2. 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: -i enables interactive mode, and kali-mcps:latest is the image you just built.
  1. 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_scan for basic network scanning.
  • Run disassemble to disassemble a target file.
  • Run capture_live to capture real-time network traffic.

What to Expect

Network Analysis: Tools for sniffing and analyzing traffic. Binary Understanding: Support for reverse engineering and function analysis. Automation: Scripts and servers to simplify repetitive tasks.

New Features

Since the last update, we have added the following features, integrating a series of tools based on the FastMCP framework:

1. Network Scanning (Nmap)

  • basic_scan: Basic network scanning.
  • intense_scan: In-depth network scanning.
  • stealth_scan: Stealth network scanning.
  • quick_scan: Quick network scanning.
  • vulnerability_scan: Vulnerability scanning.

2. Symbol Analysis (nm)

  • basic_symbols: Lists basic symbols.
  • dynamic_symbols: Lists dynamic symbols.
  • demangle_symbols: Decodes symbols.
  • numeric_sort: Sorts symbols numerically.
  • size_sort: Sorts symbols by size.
  • undefined_symbols: Lists undefined symbols.

3. Binary Analysis (objdump)

  • file_headers: Lists file headers.
  • disassemble: Disassembles the target file.
  • symbol_table: Lists the symbol table.
  • section_headers: Lists section headers.
  • full_contents: Lists full contents.

4. String Extraction (strings)

  • basic_strings: Basic string extraction.
  • min_length_strings: Extracts strings with a specified minimum length.
  • offset_strings: Extracts strings with offsets.
  • encoding_strings: Extracts strings based on encoding.

5. Network Traffic Analysis (Wireshark/tshark)

  • capture_live: Captures network traffic in real-time.
  • analyze_pcap: Analyzes pcap files.
  • extract_http: Extracts HTTP data.
  • protocol_hierarchy: Lists protocol hierarchy.
  • conversation_statistics: Provides conversation statistics.
  • expert_info: Analyzes expert information.

6. Sandbox Support (Docker)

A new sandbox feature has been added, enabling secure command execution in an isolated container environment:

Runs commands using Docker containers, with the default image being ubuntu-systemd:22.04. Configurable memory limit (default: 2GB), CPU limit (default: 1 core), network mode, and timeout duration. Supports bidirectional file copying between the host and the container. Automatically cleans up container resources.

TODO

  • Docker Sandbox Support: Add containerized environments for safe testing and execution.
  • Network Tools Integration: Support for tools like Nmap and Wireshark for advanced network analysis.
  • Reverse Engineering Tools: Integrate Ghidra and Radare2 for enhanced binary analysis.
  • Agent Support: Enable agent-based functionality for distributed tasks or remote operations.

Current Status

This project is still in its early stages. I’m working on preparing the content, including server configurations, tool integrations, and documentation. Nothing is fully ready yet, but stay tuned—exciting things are coming soon!

Stay Updated

Feel free to star or watch this repository to get updates as I add more features and files. Contributions and suggestions are welcome once the groundwork is laid out.

awsome_kali_MCPServers FAQ

Which apps does it work in?
The setup guide covers Claude Desktop, Cline, Goose, and Roo Code, and any app that can launch a local Docker command should work.
Do I need a paid key or an account?
Neither. Nothing signs in anywhere; every tool runs on your own machine inside a container you build.
Is the sandbox real?
No, and this matters. The code that would run commands inside an isolated container is commented out, so the IS_SAFE setting changes nothing and everything runs directly.
Can I use this to check my own home network?
Yes — but only ever scan machines you own or have written permission to test, because port and vulnerability scanning other people's systems is illegal in many countries.
Can it look at a file on my computer?
Not as documented. The container is started without access to your folders, so file-based tools see nothing until you add a share yourself.
Is it actually Kali Linux?
No. Despite the name, the image is Debian with nmap, binutils, traceroute, and tshark installed.
Can I set the minimum length or the encoding for text extraction?
No, even though the write-up implies it. Those settings are fixed in the code and are not offered as choices, so three of the text tools behave the same way.
How hard is setup?
You build a container image from the source and paste a snippet into your app's settings, so you need some comfort with a terminal.
Is it finished?
The author calls it early-stage, and the last code change was November 2025.
