# Kali Linux Penetration Testing Tools

> Use this tool when you need to perform penetration testing and vulnerability assessments on networks and systems. It solves problems related to security testing, such as network scanning, vulnerability identification, and password cracking, by providing a REST API interface to execute tools like nmap, gobuster, and metasploit. With inputs including scan targets and tool parameters, and outputs including scan results and vulnerability reports, use this tool in contexts where security testing and penetration testing are required.

## Description

This MCP-Kali-Server implementation provides a bridge between AI assistants and Kali Linux penetration testing tools through a REST API. Developed by Yousof Nahya, it consists of two main components: a Flask-based server (kali_server.py) that executes security tools like nmap, gobuster, and metasploit on a Kali Linux system, and a client (mcp_server.py) that exposes these capabilities as MCP tools. The server handles command execution with timeout management and proper error handling, while the client provides a structured interface for AI agents to perform security testing operations including network scanning, vulnerability assessment, and password cracking.
