}mcp-osint OSINT Server
MCP server to perform various OSINT tasks by leveraging common network reconnaissance tools.
Overview
The mcp-osint server provides a set of tools to perform open source intelligence (OSINT) investigations. It supports executing commands such as WHOIS lookups, Nmap scans, DNS reconnaissance (via dnsrecon, dig, and host), and domain permutation checks using dnstwist. Additionally, the server offers a consolidated tool to run all these functions in parallel for a comprehensive overview.
