VirusTotal MCP Server

The VirusTotal MCP Server bridges the gap between AI assistants and one of the most widely used threat intelligence platforms. By exposing VirusTotal’s rich API through the Model Context Protocol, it allows Claude and other MCP‑compatible assistants to request comprehensive security analyses directly from the assistant’s context, eliminating the need for manual API calls or separate tooling. This integration is particularly valuable for developers who want to embed real‑time malware detection, domain reputation checks, and network threat analytics into conversational workflows without leaving the AI environment.

At its core, the server offers a suite of “report” tools that automatically fetch not only the primary analysis data but also related entities such as contacted domains, downloaded files, and threat actors. Each tool—, , , and —returns a richly formatted response that groups findings into clear categories. For example, the URL report includes scan results from multiple engines, a list of communicating files and IPs, and any redirects or downloads discovered during the scan. This holistic view saves developers time and ensures that all relevant context is available in a single request.

Beyond the basic reports, the server provides dedicated relationship‑analysis tools that let users query specific connections (e.g., file to domain, IP to certificate) with built‑in pagination. This capability is essential for investigators who need to trace the propagation paths of a malicious actor or understand the broader threat landscape surrounding an asset. The server’s ability to pull WHOIS data, DNS records, SSL certificates, and subdomains further enriches the context, giving developers a full picture of an entity’s public footprint.

Integrating this MCP server into AI workflows is straightforward: the assistant can invoke a report tool with minimal parameters, and the response is automatically inserted into the conversation as structured data. Developers can then use this data to trigger alerts, generate reports, or feed it into downstream analytics pipelines—all without leaving the AI interface. The server’s automatic relationship fetching and clear formatting reduce cognitive load, allowing users to focus on decision‑making rather than data wrangling.

What sets the VirusTotal MCP Server apart is its seamless combination of breadth and depth. It covers every major entity type—URL, file hash, IP address, domain—and augments each with exhaustive relational context. For security teams, incident responders, and threat analysts, this means instant, actionable intelligence delivered directly within the AI assistant they already trust.
