hexstrike-ai

HexStrike AI MCP Agents v6.0 is an AI-powered cybersecurity automation platform that runs as an MCP server and orchestrates 150+ security tools across multiple AI agents. The server exposes an API for health checks and intelligence analysis, and is designed to integrate with various MCP-compatible AI clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP agents). To get started, clone the repository and run the Python server locally; the server will start on the configured port (default 8888) unless overridden. You can then connect your MCP client to http://localhost:8888 and use endpoints such as /health and /api/intelligence/analyze-target to perform targeted security analyses. The platform coordinates an Intelligent Decision Engine, 12+ autonomous AI agents, and a modern visual engine to produce dashboards, progress visualization, and vulnerability cards.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or newer
• Git
• (Optional) Python virtual environment tools (venv)

Installation steps

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/0x4m4/hexstrike-ai.git
cd hexstrike-ai

2. Create and activate a virtual environment

• Linux/macOS

python3 -m venv hexstrike-env
source hexstrike-env/bin/activate

• Windows

python -m venv hexstrike-env
.
hexstrike-env\Scripts\activate

3. Install Python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the MCP server

python3 hexstrike_server.py

5. Optional: run in debug mode or specify a port

python3 hexstrike_server.py --debug
python3 hexstrike_server.py --port 8888

Tips and notes:

• The server exposes health and intelligence endpoints. Use curl to verify:
  • Health: curl http://localhost:8888/health
  • Intelligence: curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/api/intelligence/analyze-target -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"target": "example.com", "analysis_type": "comprehensive"}'
• Integrations: This MCP server is designed to connect with multiple MCP clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Roo Code, Cursor). Ensure client configuration points to http://localhost:8888 and uses the same server arguments to invoke hexstrike_server.py.
• If you update configuration or tools, reinstall dependencies or restart the server to apply changes.
• Environment variables can be added under the mcp_config.env section if needed in your deployment environment.
• The project provides a broad toolset across network, web app, cloud, binary, CTF, and OSINT domains; consult the README’s Architecture and Features sections for a full list of tool categories.
