Interact with MISP for threat intelligence sharing, IOC lookups, and management.
misp-mcp
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform & Threat Intelligence Sharing). Enables LLMs to perform IOC lookups, manage events, discover correlations, and export threat intelligence directly from your MISP instance.
Features
- 36 MCP Tools covering events, attributes, correlations, tags, exports, sightings, warninglists, objects, galaxies, feeds, organisations, and server management
- 3 MCP Resources for browsing attribute types, instance statistics, and available taxonomies
- 3 MCP Prompts for guided IOC investigation, incident event creation, and threat reporting
- SSL Flexibility for self-signed certificates common in MISP deployments
- Export Formats including CSV, STIX, Suricata, Snort, text, RPZ, and hash lists
- MITRE ATT&CK Integration via galaxy cluster search and attachment
- Bulk Operations for adding multiple IOCs to events in a single call
- Correlation Engine for discovering cross-event relationships through shared indicators
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20 or later
- A running MISP instance with API access
- MISP API key (generated from MISP UI: Administration > List Auth Keys)
