# Velociraptor MCP
Velociraptor MCP is a POC Model Context Protocol bridge for exposing LLMs to MCP clients.
Initial version has several Windows orientated triage tools deployed. Best use is querying usecase to target machine name.
e.g
`can you give me all network connections on MACHINENAME and look for suspicious processes?`
`can you tell me which artifacts target the USN journal`
## Installation
### 1. Setup an API account
https://docs.velociraptor.app/docs/server_automation/server_api/
Generate an api config file:
`velociraptor --config /etc/velociraptor/server.config.yaml config api_client --name api --role administrator,api api_client.yaml`
### 2. Clone mcp-velociraptor repo and test API
- Copy `api_client.yaml` to the repo root, or keep it anywhere local and set `VELOCIRAPTOR_API_CONFIG=/path/to/api_client.yaml`.
- `api_client.yaml` is gitignored and should not be committed.
- Run `VELOCIRAPTOR_API_CONFIG=/path/to/api_client.yaml .venv/bin/python test_api.py` to confirm the API works.
- The MCP bridge reads the same `VELOCIRAPTOR_API_CONFIG` environment variable.
- For multi-tenant deployments, optionally set `VELOCIRAPTOR_ORG_ID` to choose a default org context.
- Set `VELOCIRAPTOR_DEBUG_VQL=1` only when you want raw VQL request logging on stderr for debugging.
### 3. Connect to MCP client of choice
The easiest configuration is to run your venv python directly calling mcp_velociraptor_bridge.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"velociraptor": {
"command": "/path/to/venv/bin/python",
"env": {
"VELOCIRAPTOR_API_CONFIG": "/path/to/api_client.yaml",
"VELOCIRAPTOR_ORG_ID": "O123"
},
"args": [
"/path/to/mcp_velociraptor_bridge.py"
]
}
}
}
```
The separate agent proof-of-concept now lives under `agent_poc/`. It now
includes a Windows-first engagement manager that fans out to isolated process,
network, persistence, and execution analysts in parallel, with deterministic
evidence collection and model-only synthesis per role. See
`agent_poc/README.md` for agent-specific usage and automation examples,
including verbose collection progress output with artifact names and row counts.
### 4. Tool Response Format
MCP tool responses are emitted as JSON text envelopes so stdio clients do not
need to parse Python `repr()` output:
```json
{"ok": true, "data": {...}}
```
or
```json
{"ok": false, "error": "message"}
```
`collect_artifact` accepts `parameters` as a structured JSON object with scalar
values or lists of scalar values, for example
`{"PathRegex": ".*", "Targets": ["_BasicCollection"]}`. Legacy compatibility
input can be supplied via `legacy_parameters` with simple scalar assignments or
list literals such as `PathRegex='.*',Targets=['_BasicCollection']`; raw VQL
fragments are no longer passed through.
`collect_forensic_triage` wraps `Windows.Triage.Targets` with
`Targets='["_BasicCollection"]'` and a collection timeout of `2400` seconds.

### 5. Caveats
Due to the nature of DFIR, results depend on amount of data returned, model use and context window.
I have included a function to find artifacts and dynamically create collections but had mixed results.
I have been pleasantly surprised with some results and disappointed when running other collections that cause lots of rows.
Check licencing - Anthropic's DPA is only tied to their Commercial Terms, which means that for
client/production endpoint data you would need commercial licencing to leverage this MCP. Other
MCP clients work just fine.
Please let me know how you go and feel free to add PR!
