blackarch-AI

A scope-gated MCP server and set of Claude Code Skills for red-team and blue-team security workflows on BlackArch Linux.

What this is

• MCP server (src/blackarch_ai_mcp/) — wraps local security tools (nmap, gobuster, nikto, hydra, plus local blue-team audits) as MCP tools, so any MCP-compatible client can call them.

• Claude Code Skills (.claude/skills/) — markdown playbooks that walk through red-team and blue-team workflows using those tools.

Safety model: scope-gating

No red-team tool will run against a target that isn't explicitly authorized. Every tool that touches a network target (nmap_scan, gobuster_dir, nikto_scan, hydra_bruteforce) checks scope.yaml first and refuses with a clear message if the target isn't listed with valid, non-expired authorization.

cp scope.example.yaml scope.yaml
# edit scope.yaml: add host/cidr, authorized_by, authorization_ref, expires

scope.yaml is gitignored — it's local, never published. See docs/SCOPE.md for the full contract.

Blue-team tools (audit_listening_ports, audit_suid_world_writable, review_auth_log, lint_ssh_config, audit_pacman_packages, crack_hash_offline) are local-only and not gated — they never touch a third party.

This project does not grant authorization to test anything. You are responsible for having explicit, written permission before pointing any red-team tool at a target. Unauthorized scanning/exploitation of systems you don't own or have written permission to test is illegal in most jurisdictions.

Install

sudo pacman -S --needed python-uv
uv sync

Run the MCP server standalone

uv run python -m blackarch_ai_mcp.server

Register with Claude Code

claude mcp add blackarch-ai -- uv --directory /path/to/blackarch-ai run python -m blackarch_ai_mcp.server

Then in a Claude Code session, invoke a Skill (e.g. "run a host audit", or /blue-team-host-audit if slash-invocation is enabled) or call an mcp__blackarch-ai__* tool directly.

Layout

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the pieces fit together and docs/TOOLS.md for the full tool reference.

Tests

uv run pytest
