From the README

# 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 directo
