A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for automating [Ludus](https://docs.ludus.cloud) cyber range environments through AI assistants written in Python.

## Overview

Ludus FastMCP enables AI-powered management of Ludus cyber ranges through natural language commands. The server exposes **157 tools** across 15 modules for range lifecycle management, scenario deployment, template creation, Ansible role management, and security monitoring integration.

### Key Capabilities

| Category | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| **Range Management** | Create, configure, deploy, and manage virtual lab environments |
| **Scenario Deployment** | Pre-built scenarios for AD, red/blue/purple team, and malware analysis |
| **Template Builder** | Custom OS templates, skeleton configurations, and YAML generation |
| **Role Management** | Ansible Galaxy integration and custom role installation |
| **SIEM Integration** | Wazuh, Splunk, Elastic Stack, and Security Onion support |
| **AI Configuration** | Natural language to YAML configuration conversion |

### Supported Platforms

Works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, VS Code (Cline), OpenWebUI, and AnythingLLM.

## Quick Start

### Requirements

- Python 3.11+
- Access to a Ludus server instance
- Ludus API credentials

### Installation

```bash
# Using pipx (recommended)
pipx install git+https://github.com/tjnull/Ludus-FastMCP

# From source
git clone https://github.com/tjnull/Ludus-FastMCP
cd Ludus-FastMCP
pip install -e .
```

### Setup

Run the interactive setup wizard:

```bash
ludus-fastmcp --setup
```

The wizard configures API credentials, tests connectivity, and generates MCP client configuration files.

For manual configuration options, see the [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md).

## Usage

### MCP Server (ludus-fastmcp)

```bash
ludus-fastmcp --setup          # Interactive setup wizard
ludus-fastmcp --list-tools     # List all 157 available tools
ludus-fastmcp --version        # Display version information
ludus-fastmcp                  # Start MCP server
ludus-fastmcp --daemon         # Run as background service
```

### Client CLI (ludus-ai)

```bash
ludus-ai setup-llm                    # Configure local LLM (Ollama)
ludus-ai install anythingllm          # Install AnythingLLM interface
ludus-ai tool list-tools              # List available tools
ludus-ai tool call-tool <name>        # Execute tools directly
```

### Example Interactions

Once connected to an MCP client, interact with your Ludus environment:

```
Show my current range status
Deploy an Active Directory lab with Wazuh monitoring
Create a snapshot named "pre-attack" for all VMs
Build a lab with 2 domain controllers and 5 workstations
```
