  "mcpServers": {
    "somacaru-mcp_setup": {

      "args": [
        "echo_server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You run a focused MCP server that exposes BlackArch security tools as programmable actions and data sources. It lets you query, invoke simple tools, and read resources from an external AI assistant, with a straightforward stdio transport that keeps testing and development fast.

How to use

You will run the MCP server locally and connect it to an MCP-compatible client. Start the server in stdio mode so the client can send JSON-RPC requests, then list available tools and call them to perform security-related tasks. The Echo Tool echoes back messages you send, and the Echo Resource provides readable content via a simple interface. Use this setup to prototype AI-assisted workflows that rely on tool execution and data access.

How to install

Prerequisites include Python 3.13 or higher and a JSON formatter like jq for testing. You will also need a Python environment to install dependencies.

# Prerequisites
python3 --version
jq --version

# Clone or download the project
# Replace <repository-url> with the actual repository URL you received
git clone <repository-url>
cd <repository-directory>

# Create a Python environment (optional but recommended)
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the server in stdio mode
python echo_server.py

Additional notes

The server runs in stdio transport, waiting for JSON-RPC requests. To integrate with an MCP client, initialize the session, acknowledge startup, and then query available tools before invoking them. This server model follows the FastMCP approach and emphasizes simple, testable interactions.

Project structure

The project includes the main MCP server file and test scripts that verify basic interactions. Use these as a reference when extending the server with new tools or resources.

Available tools

echo_tool

Echoes back the provided message to verify tool invocation and response handling.
