MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server
You can use this MCP server to query, search, traverse, and visualize MITRE ATT&CK threat intelligence across Enterprise, Mobile, and ICS domains through structured LLM-friendly tools.
Look up techniques by ATT&CK ID, STIX ID, name, description text, tactic, platform, parent/subtechnique relationships, or revoked status.
Search and retrieve groups/threat actors, aliases, software/malware/tools, campaigns, mitigations, tactics, data sources, data components, matrices, and ICS assets.
Traverse relationships such as group-to-technique, group-to-software, group-to-campaign, software-to-technique, campaign-to-technique/software, mitigation-to-technique, data-component-to-technique, and procedure examples.
Resolve IDs and names, get data/download statistics, list objects by STIX type, and filter objects by creation or modification time.
Generate ATT&CK Navigator layer JSON and metadata for visualization of groups, mitigations, software, or data components.
Use domain-specific options (
enterprise,mobile,ics), include/exclude descriptions, and exclude revoked/deprecated objects as needed.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server Show me techniques used by APT29 for initial access"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Scored across 65 tools
Each tool targets a distinct ATT&CK entity or relationship. No two tools have identical purposes; even closely related tools differ by input parameters or entity type, ensuring clear separation.
Most tools follow a consistent 'verb_noun' pattern (e.g., get_all_*, search_*, generate_layer). A minor inconsistency exists with both 'get_software' and 'get_all_software' having overlapping functionality, but overall the naming is predictable.
65 tools is high but appropriate for the comprehensive ATT&CK framework. The tool set covers many entity types and relationships, though some consolidation could reduce redundancy without losing functionality.
The tool set covers all major ATT&CK entities (techniques, groups, software, campaigns, etc.) and their relationships, plus utility tools for layer generation, search, and object resolution. No obvious gaps in the surface.
