OSINT Toolbox

OSINT Toolbox runs locally from a Python package published to PyPI: osint-toolbox-mcp version 1.1.0. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Python; clients usually start it with uvx (from uv) or after pip install — the usual command is uvx osint-toolbox-mcp. It reads these environment variables: OSINT_SPIDERFOOT_DIR, OSINT_BLACKBIRD_DIR and OSINT_EXIFTOOL; set them in the client's configuration for this server.

OSINT Toolbox runs locally from a container image in an OCI registry such as Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry: ghcr.io/renkagod/osint-toolbox-mcp:1.1.0. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Docker or another OCI container runtime; started with docker run — the usual command is docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/renkagod/osint-toolbox-mcp:1.1.0.

In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "osint-toolbox-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "osint-toolbox-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OSINT_SPIDERFOOT_DIR": "<value>",
        "OSINT_BLACKBIRD_DIR": "<value>",
        "OSINT_EXIFTOOL": "<value>"
      }
    }
  }
}
