A client that lets an agent use security tools running in a Docker-hosted Kali Linux service. Kali Linux is a security-focused operating system that includes tools for testing and investigating systems.

It is for running security and investigation tasks through a local Kali Linux tools service configured with its API address.

It connects the agent to those locally hosted tools through an API, avoiding the need to describe each tool separately. The supplied information does not specify which individual tools are available.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zebbern/zebbern-kali-mcp

Made for: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe. Third-party audits

Security

Grade A, and why

kali-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
