MCP-Kali-Server

Enables AI-assisted penetration testing by connecting MCP clients to execute terminal commands on a Kali Linux machine, supporting tools like Nmap, Metasploit, and custom commands.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Install from

M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.

// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

14/14 tools missing one or more hints — handle_call_tool (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); dynamic_tool_24 (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); nmap_scan (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +11 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Shell command execution

1 child_process/subprocess call in production code — runs shell commands (kali_mcp_http.py:60)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
