Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server OSINT.SX for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "osintsx": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "osintsx-mcp" ], "env": { "OSINTSX_API_KEY": "your-value" } } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) For OSINTSX_API_KEY, leave "your-value" in place and tell me to paste the real value myself into the file or the app’s field. Never ask me to type a key in chat. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the OSINT.SX tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

How to open Terminal
Mac: press ⌘ + Space, type Terminal, press Enter
Windows: open Start, type Windows PowerShell, then Open
Not installed: Open the official download page, pick the LTS version and the click-through installer: .pkg on Mac · .msi on Windows. Double-click and follow it to the end. No curl command needed

Common questions

Is OSINT.SX safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: OSINTSX_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 16 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 16 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

osintsx-mcp

An MCP server for the OSINT.SX API.

It lets an AI assistant such as Claude, Cursor or VS Code run OSINT.SX searches for you. It can check an email, phone number, username or name against every source at once, or use one of the single-platform tools.

It runs on your own API key. Each search costs what it costs on the site: 1 credit. A search that finds nothing because most sources failed gives the credit back. Tool searches cost nothing when they find nothing.

Setup

Make an API key at https://osint.sx/keys.
Add the server to your MCP client with that key.

Claude Desktop, Cursor and most clients (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "osintsx": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "osintsx-mcp"], "env": { "OSINTSX_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Claude Code:

claude mcp add osintsx --env OSINTSX_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y osintsx-mcp

Node.js 20.3 or newer is required.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search`	Checks an email, phone number (+E.164), username or full name against every source, and returns each site where it's registered with the details that site shows.
`google_account_lookup`	Finds Google accounts and Gaia IDs by email, name or domain, or looks one up by Gaia ID.
`microsoft_account_lookup`	Finds Microsoft accounts by email, name or domain, or looks one up by CID.
`epic_games_lookup`	Finds Epic Games accounts by display name, account ID, or the username on a linked platform.
`twitter_history`	Looks up an X profile's archived history: earlier usernames, names, bios, locations and pictures.
`steam_history`	Looks up a Steam profile's archived history: earlier names, custom URLs and avatars, and other accounts that held the same custom URL.
`instagram_share_trace`	Finds the account that shared an Instagram link copied from the app.
`tiktok_share_trace`	Finds the account that shared a TikTok short link copied from the app.

A call waits up to 50 seconds by default, then returns whatever has come in, and the result says it was cut short. For search, the sources that hadn't answered are cancelled. A single-platform tool keeps running on OSINT.SX after the cut-off, so its credit may still be used. 50 seconds keeps the call under the 60-second timeout many MCP clients use, and in testing almost every source answered within that time.

If your client allows longer calls, set max_wait_seconds (up to 600). Clients that support progress notifications show progress while a search runs.

By default, search leaves out sources that may notify the person. Set include_alerting_sources to include them.

Replies are kept under about 48 KB, so they fit what MCP clients accept. If there are more results than that, the reply says how many were left out. The Google, Microsoft, Epic and share-trace tools return each result's main fields; set include_raw to get everything the source sent.

Settings

Variable
`OSINTSX_API_KEY`	Required. Your API key.
`OSINTSX_API_URL`	Optional. Defaults to `https://api.osint.sx`.
