# kali-mcp An MCP server that gives AI assistants access to a full Kali Linux environment running in Docker. Connect it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client and let the AI run security tools like nmap, sqlmap, hydra, nikto, gobuster, and more. ## How it works ``` Claude <--stdio--> MCP Server <--Docker API--> Kali Linux Container ``` The MCP server manages a Docker container running Kali Linux. It exposes tools that let the AI start/stop the container, execute commands, and transfer files — all through the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io). ## Tools | Tool | Description | |---|---| | `container_start` | Start the Kali Linux container | | `container_stop` | Stop and remove the container | | `container_status` | Check if the container is running | | `execute_command` | Run any shell command inside Kali | | `upload_file` | Write a file to the container | | `download_file` | Read a file from the container | | `list_files` | List directoRead full README on GitHub →
