OpenOSINT
Run OSINT lookups—email, breaches, IP, WHOIS, DNS, Shodan, GitHub—from your agent via 16 MCP tools plus an optional AI REPL.
Overview
io.github.OpenOSINT/openosint is an MCP server for the Idea phase that provides 16 OSINT tools and an AI agent for email, breach, IP, DNS, and related investigations.
What is this MCP server?
- 16 MCP tools covering email, breach, IP, WHOIS, DNS, Shodan, GitHub, and related OSINT surfaces
- AI-powered OSINT agent with Anthropic-backed REPL (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required)
- Optional API keys: HIBP, ipinfo, IP2Location, AbuseIPDB for richer breach and IP intel
- PyPI package openosint v2.19.1 with stdio MCP transport
- Use in Idea research, Validate competitor checks, or Ship security recon—same server catalog
- 16 OSINT tools documented in server title/description
- Version 2.19.1 PyPI package openosint
- 5 documented environment variables (1 required Anthropic, 4 optional intel keys)
Community signal: 589 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Scattered OSINT CLIs and tabs make it slow to answer who owns a domain, whether an email leaked, or what an IP exposes during early product decisions.
Who is it for?
Solo builders doing founder, competitor, or asset recon who want OSINT unified under MCP before build or security review.
Skip if: Pure geocoding, ACP bridges, or teams that forbid any external intelligence gathering on identifiers.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your MCP client can call 16 structured OSINT tools (and an optional Anthropic REPL) from one PyPI server with configurable API keys.
- 16 OSINT MCP tools callable from your coding agent
- Optional Anthropic-driven investigation REPL on the same server
- Consolidated email, IP, DNS, WHOIS, and GitHub intelligence workflows
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
OpenOSINT’s canonical shelf is Idea research, but the same 16 tools support competitor diligence and pre-ship security checks. Research subphase because the server bundles discovery and intelligence gathering rather than app feature code.
How it compares
16-tool OSINT MCP suite with optional AI REPL, not a single API wrapper or task-graph orchestrator.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.OpenOSINT/openosint for?
Indie builders and security-curious developers who research domains, emails, and infrastructure via MCP-backed OSINT.
When should I use io.github.OpenOSINT/openosint?
Use it in early research, competitor validation, or pre-launch security checks when you need breach, DNS, IP, or GitHub intelligence in-agent.
How do I add io.github.OpenOSINT/openosint to my agent?
Install the PyPI package openosint, set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (and optional HIBP/ipinfo keys), register stdio MCP, and invoke the 16 tools from your host.
