Huntress

Huntress MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with structured access to Huntress cybersecurity platform data and operations.

Note: This project is maintained by Wyre Technology.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop — download, open, done:

1. Download huntress-mcp.mcpb from the latest release
2. Open the file (double-click or drag into Claude Desktop)
3. Enter your Huntress credentials when prompted (API Key, API Secret)

No terminal, no JSON editing, no Node.js install required.

Claude Code (CLI):

claude mcp add huntress-mcp \

-e HUNTRESS_API_KEY=your-api-key \ -e HUNTRESS_API_SECRET=your-api-secret \ -- npx -y github:WYRE-AI/huntress-mcp

See Installation for Docker and from-source methods.

Features

• 🔌 MCP Protocol Compliance: Full support for MCP resources and tools

Installation

Option 1: MCPB Bundle (Claude Desktop)

The simplest method — no terminal, no JSON editing, no Node.js install required.

1. Download huntress-mcp.mcpb from the latest release
2. Open the file (double-click or drag into Claude Desktop)
3. Enter your Huntress credentials when prompted (API Key, API Secret)

For Claude Code (CLI), one command:

claude mcp add huntress-mcp \

-e HUNTRESS_API_KEY=your-api-key \ -e HUNTRESS_API_SECRET=your-api-secret \ -- npx -y github:WYRE-AI/huntress-mcp

Option 2: Docker

The image listens on 0.0.0.0 inside the container and defaults to AUTH_MODE=gateway. Publish the port on loopback and pass the service-to-service secret. In gateway mode, Huntress credentials arrive on each request as headers; they are not read from the environment.

docker run -d \

-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ ghcr.io/wyre-ai/huntress-mcp:latest

Compose refuses to start when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is unset:

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" docker compose up

Option 3: From Source

git clone https://github.com/WYRE-AI/huntress-mcp.git

cd huntress-mcp npm ci npm run build

Configuration

Copy .env.example and set the variables below.

/health and /healthz stay unauthenticated and do not read credentials. The stdio transport does not use CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET.

HTTP authentication

With MCP_TRANSPORT=http and CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET set, every /mcp request must include X-Gateway-S2S:

t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex hmac-sha256>

v1 is HMAC-SHA256 over the exact message t= , keyed with CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET, hex-encoded. The timestamp must be within 300 seconds of the server clock. A missing or invalid header returns 401. The secret is never written to logs.

import { createHmac } from 'node:crypto';

const t = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000); const v1 = createHmac('sha256', process.env.CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET).update(t=${t}).digest('hex'); const xGatewayS2s = t=${t},v1=${v1};

In AUTH_MODE=gateway, /mcp also requires X-Huntress-Api-Key and X-Huntress-Api-Secret. Those headers are the only credential source for that request. A request missing either header returns 401 and does not fall back to HUNTRESS_API_KEY / HUNTRESS_API_SECRET.

await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp', {

method: 'POST', headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json', accept: 'application/json, text/event-stream', 'x-gateway-s2s': xGatewayS2s, 'x-huntress-api-key': apiKey, 'x-huntress-api-secret': apiSecret, }, body: JSON.stringify({ jsonrpc: '2.0', id: 1, method: 'tools/list' }), });

Domains

The server uses decision-tree navigation. Start with huntress_navigate to pick a domain:

Docker Deployment

See docker-compose.yml for full configuration. The checked-in Compose service is gateway mode. It does not set HUNTRESS_API_KEY or HUNTRESS_API_SECRET and does not use env_file, so a project .env cannot inject static vendor credentials into the container. Compose still interpolates CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET from that file and will not start when it is unset. The port is published on 127.0.0.1.

cp .env.example .env

Set CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET. Leave it empty in the example; never commit a real value.

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" docker compose up -d

Single-tenant HTTP (AUTH_MODE=env) still requires the S2S secret, then uses HUNTRESS_API_KEY and HUNTRESS_API_SECRET. It is separate from the gateway Compose service:

docker run -d \

-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \ -e AUTH_MODE=env \ -e HUNTRESS_API_KEY=your-key \ -e HUNTRESS_API_SECRET=your-secret \ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \ ghcr.io/wyre-ai/huntress-mcp:latest

Local HTTP without a secret is development-only. It binds 127.0.0.1 only and logs a warning:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 npm run start:http

Development

npm ci

npm run build # Build the project npm run dev # Watch mode npm run test # Run tests npm run lint # Type-check npm run clean # Remove dist/

HTTP refuses to start until CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is set

CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" npm run start:http

Local HTTP only, without a service-to-service secret (always binds 127.0.0.1)

MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 npm run start:http

Testing

npm test            # Run test suite

npm run test:watch # Watch mode
