python3 mcp_server.py
```

### Production Deployment
1. **Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces**
2. **Get your Space URL**: `https://your-username-kali-mcp.hf.space`
3. **Configure Cline MCP settings**:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kali-tools": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "KALI_API_URL": "https://your-username-kali-mcp.hf.space"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Available Tools

- **server_health**: Check server status and tool availability

The server exposes MCP-compatible endpoints that allow AI assistants to discover and execute Kali Linux tools.

## Technical Details

- **Base Image**: `kalilinux/kali-rolling`
- **Web Framework**: Flask
- **Protocol**: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- **Timeout**: 180 seconds per command
- **Health Checks**: Automated monitoring

## Deployment

1. Create a new Hugging Face Space
2. Set SDK to "Docker"
3. Upload the Kali-MCP directory files
4. The Space will automatically build and deploy

## Security Notice

⚠️ **This tool is intended for educational and ethical testing purposes only.**

- Use only on systems you own or have explicit permission to test
- All activities are logged and monitored
- Unauthorized use may violate laws and platform terms

## Cost Considerations

- **Free Tier**: Basic functionality, limited resources
- **Paid Tiers**: Higher CPU/memory limits, persistent storage
- **GPU**: Not required for these tools

## Limitations

- Command execution timeout: 3 minutes
- No interactive sessions (use non-interactive flags)
- Memory limits based on Spaces tier
- No persistent file storage across sessions
