About
Enables secure static analysis of Microsoft Office documents and related file types for malicious content, integrating with systems that support the MCP protocol.
README
This project provides a secure microservice using FastMCP to analyze Microsoft Office documents (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and related file types (like XLL add-ins) for potential malicious content using static analysis techniques. It leverages external tools like oletools, XLMMacroDeobfuscator, and pefile.
Features
- Analyzes VBA Macros (
olevba) - Detects XLM Macros (
XLMMacroDeobfuscator,olevba) - Checks for DDE Links (
msodde) - Extracts embedded OLE Objects (
oleobj) - Analyzes XLL file exports for suspicious functions (
pefile) - Extracts IOCs (URLs, IPs, Hashes, Emails) using
iocextract - Provides basic MIME type and file size validation (
python-magic) - Uses a configurable scoring system for basic risk classification
- Designed for integration with systems supporting the MCP protocol (like compatible versions of Claude Desktop).
Prerequisites
- Python 3.6+
- OLETools: Install via
pip install oletools - XLMMacroDeobfuscator: Install via
pip install XLMMacroDeobfuscator - python-magic: Install via
pip install python-magic-bin(Windows) - iocextract (optional): Install via
pip install iocextractfor advanced IOC extraction - Claude Desktop application
Installation
- Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/pradeep895/oletools-mcp-server.git cd oletools-mcp-server - Install Dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Download the "Claude Desktop" application go to the Developer settings and Edit the "claude_desktop_config.json" file and paste content in the configuration.json file.Restart the application.
- Run the config file:
python config.py
- Run the server:
python mcp_service.py
- Go to "Claude Desktop" application and check for the "hammer symbol" it appeared means MCP tools are available.
- type "analyze_vba_macros in <filepath\example.xlsm>" this will help you to analyze the excel file statically and gave you the findings.
analyze_vba_macros file_path:"C:\path\to\your\example.xlsm"
