Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Honeypot probe data: IP reputation, scanners, CVE probing, TLS and SSH fingerprints.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Cybersecurity
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http honeylabs https://mcp.honeylabs.net/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "honeylabs": {
      "url": "https://mcp.honeylabs.net/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "honeylabs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.honeylabs.net/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_events_tool

    Individual honeypot events with every field, newest first, filtered by source, network, port, protocol or fingerprint. Use when the user wants to see the records themselves: "show me the events from this IP", "what hit port 443 yesterday", "every request carrying this JA4", "all

  • ioc_lookup_tool

    Everything the sensors hold on one IP address, a CIDR range, several ranges at once, or a domain, with our verdict and the reasons for it. Start here for any question about a specific indicator. Use for "is this IP malicious", "is this a known scanner", "have you seen this addres

  • cve_lookup_tool

    Who is probing one named CVE, and how: counts, top probing addresses, networks, countries, fingerprints, sample request paths and a daily timeline. Use whenever the user names a CVE: "is CVE-2024-4577 being exploited in the wild", "who scans for CVE-2023-1389", "has anyone probed

  • interactive_files_tool

    Files clients handed to the interactive sensors: uploads, mail attachments, published messages and other artifacts, by SHA-256, with name, size, MIME type, the sessions that carried them and the VirusTotal verdict when one is known. Use for "have you seen this hash", "what files

  • interactive_sessions_tool

Common questions

Is HoneyLabs 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: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 9 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: MCPProxy, ConnectSecure MCP, EchelonGraph CVE & Exposure

HoneyLabs

Honeypot threat intelligence as MCP tools. Query 90 days of probe data from our honeypot sensor network: IP reputation, scanner classification, CVE probing trends, TLS/HTTP/SSH fingerprints (JA4, JA3, Akin, HASSH), mTLS client certificates, Community ID flow hashes, and attack timelines. Use it straight from Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Cline, or any other Model Context Protocol client.

Tools

ToolWhat it answers
ioc_lookupIs this IP / domain known to be probing? Returns our verdict, whether it is a recognised benign scanner, the CVEs it probed, plus ports / paths / fingerprints.
top_attackersRanked leaderboard of source IPs, ASNs, countries, ports, user-agents, or CVEs (by='cve') over a time window.
search_eventsRaw honeypot events matching filters (IP, ASN, country, dest_port, protocol, http_method, ja4/ja3/akin, community_id, has_client_cert).
attack_timelineHourly / daily attack volume over a window, with protocol / country / port filters.
asn_enrichFull profile for an ASN: total events, unique IPs, top ports, source countries, user-agents, org name.
fingerprint_searchSearch by TLS JA4 / JA3, HTTP Akin or SSH HASSH fingerprint to find shared infrastructure.
fingerprint_similarRequest shapes within a few headers of an Akin HTTP fingerprint, what those clients ask for, and the family the token belongs to.
cve_lookupWho is probing a named CVE: severity, KEV status, top probing IPs with ASN and scanner tag, fingerprints, sample paths, daily timeline.
payload_searchSubstring search across request paths, bodies and headers. Never a CVE id.
fingerprint_populationHow many addresses and networks carry one fingerprint, and whether it looks like one operation.
udp_activityDNS questions, QUIC client fingerprints and other UDP probes. UDP sources can be forged.
interactive_credentialsLogins tried against the interactive sensors, per service.
interactive_filesFiles clients handed to the interactive sensors, by SHA-256, with the VirusTotal verdict.
interactive_sessionsSessions one address or range held with the interactive sensors.

Every tool is free to call. Plans differ by how much you can pull, not by which tools exist: each row in a response counts as one credit, and a free key gives 500 credits a day, with higher limits for heavier use. See https://honeylabs.net/docs#plans for the breakdown, or https://honeylabs.net/pricing.json for the same as JSON.

Tool names on the server carry a _tool suffix (ioc_lookup_tool). The server card is at https://mcp.honeylabs.net/mcp/server-card.


What the data is

HoneyLabs runs a fleet of honeypots that get probed by the public internet all day. Every probe, meaning every connection, TLS handshake, and HTTP request, is logged with the source IP, ASN, geo, TLS/HTTP/SSH fingerprints, and full URL path. We retain the last 90 days and expose it through this MCP server, a JSON API, a public lookup web UI at /lookup/ , and CSV / STIX exports.

This is our own ground-truth record of what is actively scanning the internet right now, gathered first-hand rather than copied from a CVSS database or a third-party reputation feed.


Showcase prompts

Things to ask Claude / Cursor / Gemini once HoneyLabs is wired in:

  • *"Is 80.82.77.202 a known scanner? When was it last seen and what does it probe?"*
  • *"Pull every IP that hit port 445 with a non-Windows User-Agent in the last 24 hours."*
  • *"Show CVE-2024-4577 probing volume per day for the last 7 days, broken down by ASN."*
  • *"Which CVEs are being mass-scanned this week, and who is behind the top one?"*
  • *"167.94.146.63 is hammering my firewall logs. Is that an attack or a research scanner?"*
  • *"For the top 10 attackers on port 6379 right now, what TLS JA4 fingerprints do they share?"*

More worked examples at https://honeylabs.net/mcp.


Open source

The honeypot fleet itself (Spip-Go) and the enrichment pipeline (Loom) are public. This repo (the MCP / API surface) is closed.
