Instalar

Escolha seu cliente

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-kali-server": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/Wh0am123/MCP-Kali-Server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Abra Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Reinicie após salvar.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-kali-server": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/Wh0am123/MCP-Kali-Server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor usa o mesmo esquema mcpServers que o Claude Desktop. Config de projeto vence a global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-kali-server": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/Wh0am123/MCP-Kali-Server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Clique no ícone MCP Servers na barra lateral do Cline, depois "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-kali-server": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/Wh0am123/MCP-Kali-Server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Mesmo formato do Claude Desktop. Reinicie o Windsurf para aplicar.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "mcp-kali-server",
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/Wh0am123/MCP-Kali-Server"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

O Continue usa um array de objetos de servidor em vez de um map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mcp-kali-server": {
      "command": {
        "path": "TODO",
        "args": [
          "See README: https://github.com/Wh0am123/MCP-Kali-Server"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Adicione em context_servers. Zed recarrega automaticamente ao salvar.

claude mcp add mcp-kali-server -- TODO 'See README: https://github.com/Wh0am123/MCP-Kali-Server'

Uma linha só. Verifique com claude mcp list. Remova com claude mcp remove.

Casos de uso

Usos do mundo real: MCP-Kali-Server

How to solve CTF challenges with AI-assisted Kali Linux

👤 CTF participants who want AI help running security tools ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Quando usar: You're in a CTF competition and want AI to help run and interpret Kali tools.

Pré-requisitos

Kali Linux with MCP server running — Clone repo, pip install -r requirements.txt, ./server.py
MCP client connected — Run ./client.py --server http://kali-ip:5000

Fluxo

Enumerate the target

Run an nmap scan on 10.10.10.1 with service detection and OS fingerprinting. What services are running?✓ Copiado

→ Nmap results with open ports, services, and version info
Exploit a finding

Port 80 has a PHP application. Run nikto for vulnerability scanning and gobuster for directory enumeration.✓ Copiado

→ Scan results with interesting findings
Crack credentials

Found a login at /admin. Use hydra with rockyou.txt to brute-force the login.✓ Copiado

→ Credentials found or exhausted

Resultado: Systematic CTF enumeration and exploitation with AI interpreting results.

Armadilhas

Running too many concurrent scans — Run one tool at a time to avoid overloading the target and confusing results

Ferramentas

O que este MCP expõe

Ferramenta	Entradas	Quando chamar
execute_command	command: str	Run any terminal command on the Kali machine
nmap	target: str, options?: str	Network scanning and service detection
sqlmap	url: str, options?: str	SQL injection testing
hydra	target: str, service: str, wordlist?: str	Brute-force authentication testing

Custo e limites

O que custa rodar

Cota de API: N/A — all tools run locally on Kali
Tokens por chamada: 300–2000 tokens per command output
Monetário: Free — requires a Kali Linux installation
Dica: Use targeted scans instead of full-range sweeps to get faster, cleaner results.

Segurança

Permissões, segredos, alcance

Armazenamento de credenciais: N/A — connects to local Kali instance

Saída de dados: Commands execute on the Kali machine. Network scans reach target IPs.

⚠ This tool is designed for authorized security research, CTF competitions, and defensive analysis only. Do not use it against systems you don't own or have written authorization to test.
This server provides direct terminal access to a Kali machine — it can execute any command.
Always run in an isolated lab environment, never on production networks.
Unauthorized penetration testing is illegal in most jurisdictions.

Solução de problemas

Erros comuns e correções

Connection refused to server

Ensure server.py is running on the Kali machine and the port is accessible. Check firewall rules.

Verificar: curl http://kali-ip:5000/health

Command timeout

Some security tools take a long time. Increase the timeout or use less aggressive scan options.

Verificar: Try a simple command like 'whoami' to test connectivity

Tool not found

Install missing tools via apt: sudo apt install <tool-name>. Kali includes most tools by default.

Verificar: which <tool-name>

Alternativas

MCP-Kali-Server vs. outros

Alternativa	Quando usar	Troca
hexstrike-ai	You want AI agents that autonomously decide which tools to run	More intelligence but less direct control
mcp-security-hub	You want Dockerized security tools with better isolation	Better isolation but more setup overhead
