SamiGPT

SamiGPT is an AI-powered security investigation and incident response platform that provides security operations teams with intelligent automation for case management, SIEM analysis, and CTI enrichment through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Note: This project is currently under active development. Features, APIs, and documentation may change as development progresses.

Performance & Cost

Key Metrics:

• ~ $0.18 per alert

• ~ 50 seconds to investigate an alert per agent/tab

Quick Start

SamiGPT can be used in two ways:

Method 1: AI Controller (Web Interface)

The AI Controller provides a web-based interface and uses the Cursor IDE cursor-agent binary for command execution.

Prerequisites:

• Cursor IDE must be installed (download from cursor.sh)

• Verify cursor-agent binary is available:

  which cursor-agent # Should show path like: /usr/local/bin/cursor-agent or ~/.local/bin/cursor-agent

Steps:

1. Activate virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

2. Start the AI Controller web interface:

   python3 cursor_agent.py --web --port 8081 --host 127.0.0.1

3. Open your browser: Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8081 to access the web interface.

Method 2: MCP Server (Direct Integration)

Use the MCP server directly to connect SamiGPT tools to Cursor, Claude Desktop, or other MCP-compatible tools.

Steps:

1. Activate virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

2. Start the MCP server:

   python -m src.mcp.mcp_server

3. Configure your AI tool (see "Connect MCP Server to AI Tools" section below for detailed instructions)

Note: The MCP server method doesn't require the Cursor IDE cursor-agent binary - it works directly with any MCP-compatible tool.

Overview

SamiGPT acts as an MCP server that exposes security investigation and response capabilities as tools that can be used by AI agents, LLM tools, and automated workflows. It provides a unified, vendor-neutral API layer that connects to:

• Case Management Systems (TheHive, IRIS)

• SIEM Platforms (Elastic)

• EDR Solutions (Elastic Defend)

• Threat Intelligence (OpenCTI, Local TIP)

The platform enables automated triage, investigation, correlation, and response workflows through intelligent agent profiles organized by SOC tier (SOC1, SOC2).

Features

Core Capabilities

• Automated Alert Triage: Intelligent initial assessment and classification of security alerts

• Case Management: Create, update, and manage security cases with observables, comments, and timeline tracking

• SIEM Integration: Search security events, pivot on indicators, and correlate activities across environments

• EDR Response: Endpoint isolation, process termination, and forensic artifact collection

• Threat Intelligence: IOC enrichment and reputation analysis

• Multi-Tier SOC Workflows: Structured workflows for SOC1 (triage) and SOC2 (investigation)

Agent Profiles & Runbooks

SamiGPT includes pre-configured agent profiles with specialized runbooks:

• SOC1 Agents: Initial alert triage, enrichment, and false positive identification

• SOC2 Agents: Deep investigation, correlation, and case analysis

Workflows

SamiGPT uses structured workflows organized by SOC tier. The following diagrams illustrate the execution flow:

Agent Profiles Flow

This diagram shows how agent profiles are organized and how routing rules direct cases to the appropriate SOC tier agents.

Initial Alert Triage (SOC1)

The initial alert triage workflow handles new security alerts, performs quick assessment, enrichment, and determines whether to create a case or close as false positive.

Case Analysis (SOC2)

The SOC2 case analysis workflow performs deep investigation, SIEM analysis, CTI enrichment, correlation, and prepares cases for SOC3 escalation.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher

• pip package manager

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url> cd SamiGPT

2. Create and activate virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install --upgrade pip pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure integrations (see Configuration section below)

Connect MCP Server to AI Tools

If you're using Method 2: MCP Server (see Quick Start above), configure your AI tool to connect to the MCP server:

Cursor Integration

1. Open Cursor Settings → Features → Model Context Protocol

2. Add SamiGPT server configuration:

   { "mcpServers": { "sami-gpt": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "src.mcp.mcp_server"], "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/SamiGPT" } } }

3. Restart Cursor and start using SamiGPT tools in chat

Claude Desktop Integration

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

Other MCP-Compatible Tools

The MCP server can also be connected to:

• Open WebUI (via MCP configuration)

• Other LLM tools that support the Model Context Protocol

Architecture

Infrastructure Overview

Directory Structure

Design Principles

• Vendor-Neutral APIs: All integrations implement generic interfaces, allowing easy swapping of security tools

• Separation of Concerns: AI/orchestrator layer only interacts with generic APIs, never vendor-specific code

• Modular Integration: Each vendor integration is self-contained with HTTP client, models, mappers, and client implementation

Configuration

Configuration is managed through config.json and can be edited via the web interface or directly.

Configuration File Structure

See config.json.example for the complete configuration schema. Key sections:

• iris / thehive: Case management configuration

• elastic: SIEM configuration

• edr: EDR platform configuration

• cti: Threat intelligence configuration

• eng: Engineering board configuration (ClickUp, Trello, GitHub)

• ai_controller: AI controller web interface settings

• logging: Logging configuration

Usage Examples

Basic Case Operations

SIEM Investigation

EDR Response

Agent Profile Execution

Logging

SamiGPT provides comprehensive logging:

• MCP Server Logs: logs/mcp/mcp_all.log, mcp_requests.log, mcp_responses.log, mcp_errors.log

• Application Logs: logs/debug.log, logs/error.log, logs/warning.log

Development

Adding a New Integration

1. Create integration directory under src/integrations/

2. Implement generic interface from src/api/

3. Add HTTP client, models, and mappers

4. Register in configuration

Example structure:

Running Tests

Contributing

When contributing:

1. Keep all vendor-specific code under src/integrations/

2. Ensure all integrations implement the generic APIs in src/api/

3. Add tests for new integrations

4. Update documentation as needed
