Cti Server

中文 ｜ En

CTI MCP Server is a lightweight MCP (Message/Tool Call Protocol) service framework that packages and exposes multiple tools for a Threat Intelligence Agent, enabling automated triage, evidence queries, and centralized integration.

Key Features

• Lightweight: uses fastmcp to wrap tools as remotely callable MCP methods.
• TI-focused: built-in IoC lookups, event backtracking, and basic IP enrichment.
• Model-integrated: works with OpenAI and other LLMs so the model can call MCP tools during analysis to gather evidence.
• Easy to debug and deploy locally with CLI (Typer) support.

Quick Start

Prepare Python (project requires Python >= 3.14) and create a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Start the MCP SSE service (defaults to 127.0.0.1:8000, path /mcp):

uv run cti-mcp-server start
# or
python -m cti_mcp_server.server start

Custom host/port/path example:

cti-mcp-server start --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /mcp

Enable authentication (recommended for public internet exposure):

export CTI_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN="replace-with-a-long-random-token"
cti-mcp-server start --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --path /mcp

You can also pass it directly:

cti-mcp-server start --auth-token "replace-with-a-long-random-token"

When auth is enabled, clients must send header:

Authorization: Bearer <your-token>

Validate locally with the Agent example (connects to local MCP service):

cti-agent 8.8.8.8

Use custom model endpoint / key / model (OpenAI-compatible API):

cti-agent 8.8.8.8 \
	--mcp-url http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp \
	--llm-base-url http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1 \
	--llm-api-key ollama \
	--model qwen3:latest

cti-agent command arguments:

• Positional argument: ioc (required), e.g. IP/domain.
• --mcp-url: MCP service URL (default http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp).
• --llm-base-url: OpenAI-compatible model API base URL.
• --llm-api-key: API key for the model endpoint.
• --model: model name (for example qwen3:latest).

Built-in MCP Tools (Examples)

• ioc_type(ioc: str) -> str: Detects IoC type (IP / domain).
• local_summary(ioc: str) -> dict: Returns structured summary from the local intel store (verdict, tags, first_seen, etc.).
• local_events(ioc: str, limit: int=20) -> dict: Returns recent observed events (for evidence lists).
• ip_basic(ip: str) -> dict: Offline basic IP enrichment (private/public determination, geo/ASN placeholder info).

Development & Testing

• Run tests: pytest
• Lint/format: ruff .
• Dependency management and packaging via pyproject.toml.
