[Mallory](https://mallory.ai) provides a robust source of cyber and threat intelligence. This MCP server exposes the Mallory API to AI agents via the [malloryapi](https://github.com/malloryai/malloryapi) Python client, with tools for vulnerabilities, threat actors, malware, exploits, organizations, attack patterns, breaches, products, advisories, stories, mentions, search, and sources.

Once connected, your AI assistant (Cursor, Claude Desktop, or another MCP client) can look up CVEs, threat actors, malware, and more directly from Mallory — no copy-pasting from the dashboard.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.11 or higher
- A Mallory API key ([mallory.ai](https://mallory.ai))

## Quick Start

### 1. Set your API key

Get an API key at [mallory.ai](https://mallory.ai) and add it to your shell profile (`~/.zshrc`, `~/.bashrc`, etc.):

```bash
export MALLORY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

Reload your shell (or run `source ~/.zshrc`) so the variable is available.

### 2. Add to your AI client

Add the server to your MCP client config. Pick one of the options below.

**Cursor** — add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Mallory": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mallorymcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Claude Desktop** — add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Mallory": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mallorymcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Claude Code** — run this command:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport stdio Mallory -- uvx mallorymcp
```

This stores the config in `~/.claude.json` (local scope, current project). To share it with your team, use project scope instead:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project Mallory -- uvx mallorymcp
```

This writes to `.mcp.json` in the project root, which can be committed to git.

> `uvx` downloads and runs the package automatically — no install step needed. If you prefer to install it yourself, see [Alternative: pip install](#alternative-pip-install) below.

### 3. Restart your AI client and start using it

Ask your assistant to query Mallory:

- _"Look up CVE-2024-1234 and summarize the risk."_
- _"List threat actors trending in the last 7 days."_
- _"Find vulnerabilities that are known to be exploited."_
- _"Search for intelligence on APT28."_
- _"What malware is associated with technique T1566?"_

The assistant calls the MCP tools automatically — you don't need to invoke tool names yourself.

> **Note:** `mallorymcp` is an MCP server that communicates via JSON-RPC over stdio. It's designed to be launched by your AI client, not run interactively from a terminal.

## Alternative: pip install

If you prefer installing the package rather than using `uvx`:

```bash
pip install mallorymcp
```

Then reference the command directly in your config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Mallory": {
      "command": "mallorymcp"
    }
  }
}
```
