Aircrack-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables large language models to interact with Aircrack-ng tools. It allows AI systems to perform and automate WiFi penetration testing tasks. This integration streamlines wireless security assessments using intelligent, model-driven workflows.
Prerequisites
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Python | 3.10+ |
| aircrack-ng | Must be installed and in $PATH |
| Privileges | Root / Administrator (required for monitor mode) |
| OS | Kali Linux recommended (aircrack-ng has best support) |
Install aircrack-ng
# Debian / Ubuntu / Kali Linux
sudo apt install aircrack-ng
# Arch
sudo pacman -S aircrack-ng
# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install aircrack-ng
Available Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|

Root Privileges Configuration (Linux)
Since aircrack-ng tools require root privileges, and MCP servers run in the background without the ability to ask for a password, you must configure sudo to allow running the server without a password prompt.
1. Configure Passwordless Sudo
Run the following command to edit the sudoers file:
sudo visudo
Add the following line at the end of the file (replace your_username and /path/to/... with your actual username and absolute path to the script):
your_username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/python3 /absolute/path/to/aircrack-mcp/aircrackmcp.py
Usage
Run the server directly
sudo python3 aircrackmcp.py
The server reads JSON-RPC 2.0 messages from stdin and writes responses to stdout.
MCP Client Configuration
Add this to your MCP client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aircrack": {
"command": "sudo",
"args": [
"python3",
"/absolute/path/to/aircrack-mcp/aircrackmcp.py"
]
}
}
}
Protocol
This server implements the MCP specification using:
- Transport: stdio (stdin/stdout)
- Protocol: JSON-RPC 2.0
- MCP Version: 2024-11-05
Supported Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
initialize |
Handshake — returns server capabilities |
notifications/initialized |
Client confirmation (no response) |
ping |
Health check |
tools/list |
List available tools |
tools/call |
Execute a tool |

← {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"result":{"content":[{"type":"text","text":"Monitor mode enabled on wlan0mon"}],"isError":false}}
Security
- Input Validation: Interface names are validated against
^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,32}$ - BSSID Validation: MAC addresses are validated against standard format
- File Validation: File paths are checked for existence before use
- Timeouts: Long-running commands have enforced timeouts to prevent hangs
- No Shell Execution: Commands use list-based
subprocess.run()(no shell injection)
⚠️ Legal Disclaimer: This tool is for authorized penetration testing and security research only. Unauthorized access to computer networks is illegal. Always obtain written permission before testing.
