Overlord MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Overlord C2 framework — gives AI agents direct access for management, monitoring, debugging, and plugin development.
66+ tools across categories: clients, plugins, builds, users, audit logs, database inspection, server configuration, SOCKS5 proxies, and notifications.
Quick Start
pip install -e .
python -m overlord_mcpAuto-discovery finds your Overlord instance automatically:
Scenario | What happens |
Docker container running | Extracts URL + credentials from container env |
Local | Parses settings automatically |
| Connects directly |
Nothing found | Prompts for URL once, then saves for all future sessions |
Profiles and credentials are persisted to ~/.overlord-mcp/ (never stored in this repo).
