# 🔍 OSINT Tools MCP Server [](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/specification) [](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/) [](https://www.python.org/) [](https://github.com/topics/osint) A comprehensive MCP server that exposes multiple OSINT tools to AI assistants like Claude. This server allows AI to perform sophisticated reconnaissance and information gathering tasks using industry-standard OSINT tools. ## 🛠️ Available Tools ### 🔍 **Sherlock** - Username Search Search for usernames across 399+ social media platforms and websites. Perfect for digital footprint analysis. - **Input**: Username - **Output**: List of platforms where username exists ### 📧 **Holehe** - Email Verification Check if an email is registered on 120+ platforms. Lightning fast and accurate. - **Input**: Email address - **Output**: Platforms where email is registered ### 🕷️ **SpiderFoot** - Comprehensive OSINT The Swiss Army knife of OSINT. Performs deep reconnaissance with automatic target type detection. - **Input**: IP, domain, email, phone, username, person name, Bitcoin address, or network block - **Output**: Comprehensive intelligence report - **⚠️ Note**: SpiderFoot can take 5-30 minutes to complete a full scan. Be patient! ### 🔎 **GHunt** - Google Account Intel Extract information from Google accounts using email or Google ID. - **Input**: Email or Google ID - **Output**: Google account details and associated information ### 🌐 **Maigret** - Advanced Username Search Search across 3000+ sites with false positive detection and detailed analysis. - **Input**: Username - **Output**: Detailed report with confidence scores ### 🌾 **TheHarvester** - Domain Intelligence Gather emails, subdomains, hosts, employee names, and more from public sources. - **Input**: Domain or company name - **Output**: Comprehensive domain intelligence ### 🐦 **Blackbird** - Fast Username OSINT Lightning-fast searches across 581 sites for username reconnaissance. - **Input**: Username - **Output**: Quick profile discovery results ## 🚀 Installation ### MCP Server Setup 1. **Clone this repository:** ```bash git clone https://github.com/frishtik/osint-tools-mcp-server.git cd osint-tools-mcp-server ``` 2. **Install dependencies:** ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` This will automatically install Sherlock, Holehe, Maigret, and TheHarvester. 3. **Configure Claude Desktop:** Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS): ```json { "mcpServers": { "osint-tools": { "command": "python", "args": ["/path/to/osint-tools-mcp-server/src/osint_tools_mcp_server.py"], "env": { "PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1" } } } } ``` 4. **Restart Claude Desktop** to load the new MCP server. ### Prerequisites for Additional Tools Some tools require manual installation due to their complexity: #### SpiderFoot ```bash git clone https://github.com/smicallef/spiderfoot.git /opt/spiderfoot cd /opt/spiderfoot pip install -r requirements.txt ``` #### GHunt ```bash git clone https://github.com/mxrch/GHunt.git /opt/ghunt cd /opt/ghunt pip install -r requirements.txt ``` #### Blackbird ```bash git clone https://github.com/p1ngul1n0/blackbird.git /opt/blackbird cd /opt/blackbird pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ## 🎮 Usage Tips ### Getting Started Working with AI for OSINT is a bit of an art form. Here's how to get the best results: #### Start Simple with Holehe I recommend starting with the **Holehe** tool - it's fast, reliable, and gives you immediate results: ``` "Check if john.doe@example.com is registered on any platforms" ``` #### Level Up to Username Searches Once you're comfortable, try username searches with Sherlock or Maigret: ``` "Search for the username 'johndoe123' across social media platforms" ``` #### Complex Orchestrations Here's where it gets interesting. You can chain tools together: ``` "I found an email address contact@suspicious-site.com. Can you: 1. Check what platforms it's registered on 2. Extract the domain and search for subdomains and other emails 3. Search for any usernames associated with this domain" ``` #### Let the AI Be Smart Sometimes the best approach is to give Claude context and let it decide: ``` "I'm investigating the digital footprint of username 'hackerman2024'. Use your judgment to gather as much information as possible." ``` ### Pro Tips 🎯 1. **Be Patient with SpiderFoot**: It's incredibly thorough but can take up to 30 minutes for a full scan. Start it and grab a coffee! 2. **Parallel Processing**: Claude can run multiple tools simultaneously. Don't hesitate to ask for parallel searches: ``` "Search for 'johndoe' on both Sherlock and Maigret at the same time" ``` 3. **Know When to Hold the Leash**: - For specific investigations: Be explicit about which tools to use - For exploratory research: Let Claude choose the tools - For time-sensitive tasks: Avoid SpiderFoot, stick to faster tools 4. **Cross-Reference Results**: Different tools have different databases. Maigret might find accounts that Sherlock misses and vice versa. 5. **Email First, Username Second**: If you have an email, start there - it's usually more unique than usernames. ## ⚖️ Ethical Usage & Legal Compliance **🚨 IMPORTANT: This tool is for legitimate security research and OSINT investigations only.** ### You MUST: - ✅ Only gather publicly available information - ✅ Respect privacy laws in your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) - ✅ Follow platforms' Terms of Service - ✅ Use findings responsibly and ethically - ✅ Obtain proper authorization for any professional investigations ### You MUST NOT: - ❌ Use this for stalking, harassment, or any malicious purpose - ❌ Violate any local, state, or federal laws - ❌ Access private or protected information - ❌ Use findings to harm individuals or organizations ## 🔧 Troubleshooting ### Common Issues **Tools not found**: Make sure all OSINT tools are installed and in your PATH: ```bash which sherlock holehe maigret theharvester ``` **SpiderFoot errors**: Ensure SpiderFoot is installed in `/opt/spiderfoot` or update the path in the code. **Timeout issues**: Some tools may timeout on slow connections. Try increasing the timeout parameter: ``` "Search for username with a 30 second timeout" ``` **Rate limiting**: Some platforms rate-limit searches. If you're getting blocked, wait a bit and try again. ## 🏗️ Architecture This MCP server uses Python's asyncio for non-blocking tool execution. Each tool runs in a subprocess, allowing for parallel execution and proper timeout handling. ``` Claude Desktop <-> MCP Protocol <-> OSINT MCP Server <-> OSINT Tools ``` ## 🤝 Contributing Found a bug?
