01 · Install Threatintel

before you install - you'll need

Set OTX_API_KEY, ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY, GREYNOISE_API_KEY, ABUSECH_AUTH_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add aplaceforallmystuff-mcp-threatintel -- npx -y mcp-threatintel-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aplaceforallmystuff-mcp-threatintel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-threatintel-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package mcp-threatintel-server - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.aplaceforallmystuff is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Threatintel can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can check which threat intelligence sources are configured, get recent threat intelligence pulses, search pulses by keyword, and check if IP is internet noise or targeted threat.
