AI-Powered Red Teaming with Claude, C2 & MCP

A project exploring the integration of Claude, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Command & Control (C2) Mythic to build an AI-powered copilot for Red Team operations.

The project aims to enable Claude to interact with C2 capabilities through MCP, understand the context and results of an ongoing operation, and provide context-aware recommendations, attack paths, and next-step actions based on the information gathered during the engagement.

Requirements

1. uv

2. python3

3. Claude Desktop

4. Mythic C2 (Use docker to run the service)

5. A Windows victim machine in VMware

Preliminary steps

1. Install and run the Mythic C2 server. You need to use the official repository and run it in Docker. Repository link: Mythic Repository

2. Install the agents (Apollo, Apfell, Poseidon) and the profiles (HTTP, WebSocket).

3. Use some of the payloads to generate a payload to send to the victim machine.

4. On the victim machine, execute the payload to obtain a session on the Mythic C2 server.

Usage with Claude Desktop

To deploy an MCP server with Claude Desktop, we need to use the Developer Options. You will need to edit the claude_desktop_config.json file to configure the MCP server. The configuration format is as follows:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mythic_mcp": {
            "command": "/snap/bin/uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/path/to/mythic_mcp/",
                "run",
                "main.py",
                "mythic_admin",
                "mythic_admin_password",
                "localhost",
                "7443"
            ]
        }
    }
}

To find the mythic_admin and mythic_admin_password credentials after deploying the Mythic server, you can use the following commands:

sudo ./mythic-cli config get admin_user
sudo ./mythic-cli config get admin_password

How to Use

Once you have an active session in C2 and have uploaded the configuration file to Claude, you can use any prompt. However, we recommend running a few verification prompts first to ensure that the connection between C2, Claude, and the MCP server is working correctly.
