Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Install and run open-source OSINT tools in a local sandbox, asking before runs that touch a target.

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 on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Which app do you use?

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

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

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 one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is OTInstaller safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 –, and the latest version (0.16.1) reached the registry 13 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

ot

ot is the OSINT package manager. One command installs, runs, updates or removes any tool in the OTInstaller registry, the largest registry built only for OSINT tools (over 130 of them). No more cloning repositories, fixing Python versions and learning each tool's flags: every tool takes the same typed inputs, runs in a container that can't read your files, and saves its result in the same JSON shape.

Get started

Put ot (or ot.exe) somewhere on your PATH. Tools run in containers, so Docker Desktop or Podman must be running; with cosign installed, ot also verifies each image's signature. Then set it up:

ot start      # pick starter packs and tools, AI agents and settings, then install

ot doctor # check Docker, cosign, the keychain and the registry

ot start asks at a terminal; ot start --tools --yes does the same from a script, and https://otinstaller.com/start builds the command for you.

Run tools

ot search email                                        # tools that take an email address

ot run osintverse-community/holehe e:someone@example.com ot runs # every run is saved under ./results; ot runs shows one ot pivot # what to run next on what a run found ot share # a link to the run's results that works for 24 hours

Typed inputs fill the matching input of any tool: u: username, e: email, d: domain, p: phone, ip: IP address and url: URL. Or let ot pick: ot auto someone@example.com runs every installed tool that takes an email address, and on a fresh machine offers to install a bundled playbook's tools first. ot playbook --list shows the playbooks. Tools that need an API key say so; ot keys setup walks you through them, and keys stay in your OS keychain.

Scripts, CI and AI agents

  • --json (or OT_OUTPUT=json) gives JSON output and one-line JSON errors on stderr, and ot never prompts without a terminal. See https://otinstaller.com/docs/automation.
  • ot mcp install claude (or claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, codex, gemini) adds ot's MCP server to your client. Agents ask you before any run that touches a target. See https://otinstaller.com/docs/agents.

Updates

ot outdated lists installed tools with newer versions and ot update --all installs them. ot self-update installs a new release of ot after checking its signature.

Telemetry

ot counts installs and runs of registry packages, so the registry can show which tools are used and which versions fail. A count carries the tool and its version, how a run ended and how long it took, the container engine, what started it (a command, CI or an AI agent), and your OS, architecture and ot version. It never carries your inputs, targets or results, file paths, run ids, case names, keys or tokens, and tools installed from a local manifest are never counted. The registry keeps daily totals only.

ot telemetry                          # what is sent, and whether it is on

ot telemetry off # or set OT_NO_TELEMETRY=1 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 OT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1 ot run … # print each count instead of sending it

Turning it off also stops the offer to report a failed run; DO_NOT_TRACK stops the daily update check too. Details: https://otinstaller.com/policy/privacy
