Dark web & threat intelligence for AI agents.

HIBP, ThreatFox, ransomware tracking, Tor .onion access, blockchain intel, exploit search, stealer logs, malware analysis — unified into a single MCP server. Your AI agent gets full-spectrum dark web intelligence on demand, not 16 browser tabs and manual correlation.

The Problem

Dark web intelligence is the missing layer in every security investigation. Breach databases, ransomware trackers, Tor hidden services, malware sandboxes, stealer logs, blockchain forensics, exploit databases — the data you need is scattered across dozens of platforms, each with its own API, its own auth, its own rate limits, its own output format. Today you check HIBP in one tab, ThreatFox in another, browse ransomware leak sites through Tor, pull up MalwareBazaar for a hash, check blockchain transactions on a block explorer, and then spend an hour manually piecing it all together.

Traditional dark web intel workflow:
  check breach exposure           ->  HIBP web interface (paid API)
  search leaked credentials       ->  IntelligenceX web interface
  track ransomware groups         ->  ransomware.live + ransomlook.io (2 separate UIs)
  access .onion hidden services   ->  Tor Browser manually
  analyze malware samples         ->  Hybrid Analysis + MalwareBazaar (2 more UIs)
  check IP abuse history          ->  AbuseIPDB + GreyNoise (2 more UIs)
  trace cryptocurrency            ->  blockchain.info + ChainAbuse
  search for exploits             ->  Vulners web interface
  check phishing URLs             ->  PhishTank web interface
  correlate everything            ->  copy-paste into a report
  ────────────────────────────────
  Total: 60+ minutes per investigation, most of it switching contexts

darknet-mcp-server gives your AI agent 66 tools across 16 data sources via the Model Context Protocol. The agent queries all sources in parallel, correlates data across the surface and dark web, identifies threats, and presents a unified intelligence picture — in a single conversation.

With darknet-mcp-server:
  You: "Investigate the breach exposure and threat landscape for target.com"

  Agent: -> HIBP: 3 known breaches (Adobe 2013, LinkedIn 2021, Collection #1)
         -> ThreatFox: 2 IOCs associated with domain (C2 callback, phishing)
         -> URLhaus: 1 malicious URL hosted on subdomain
         -> Ransomware: No victim listings found (good)
         -> Stealer logs: 47 compromised employee credentials found
         -> OTX: 5 threat pulses referencing the domain
         -> AbuseIPDB: Primary IP has 12 abuse reports (brute force)
         -> "target.com has been in 3 data breaches exposing 2.1M records.
            47 employee credentials found in stealer logs — immediate
            password reset recommended. 2 active ThreatFox IOCs suggest
            ongoing targeting. No ransomware listings, but the abuse
            reports on the primary IP warrant investigation."

How It's Different

Existing tools give you raw data one source at a time. darknet-mcp-server gives your AI agent the ability to reason across surface web and dark web intelligence simultaneously.

Traditional Approach darknet-mcp-server

Interface 16 different web UIs, CLIs, and APIs MCP — AI agent calls tools conversationally

Data sources One platform at a time 16 sources queried in parallel

Breach intel HIBP web UI for breaches, IntelligenceX for leaks Agent combines HIBP breaches + pastes + IntelligenceX + stealer logs

Dark web access Manual Tor Browser, copy-paste from .onion sites Agent fetches, scrapes, and searches .onion sites via SOCKS5 proxy

Malware analysis Hybrid Analysis + MalwareBazaar + ThreatFox separately Agent cross-references: "This hash from ThreatFox was also detonated in Hybrid Analysis with network IOCs"

Blockchain Block explorer + ChainAbuse separately Agent traces BTC transactions and checks abuse reports in one step

API keys Required for almost everything Many tools work free; API keys unlock premium sources

Setup Install each tool, manage each config, run Tor Browser npx darknet-mcp-server — one command, zero config

---

Quick Start

Option 1: npx (no install)

npx darknet-mcp-server

Free tools work immediately. No API keys required for ransomware tracking, breach listings, GreyNoise, blockchain, OTX, and more.

Option 2: Clone

git clone https://github.com/badchars/darknet-mcp-server.git
cd darknet-mcp-server
bun install

Environment variables (optional)

# Breach & credential intelligence
export HIBP_API_KEY=your-key           # Enables breach account search & paste search
export INTELX_API_KEY=your-key         # Enables 4 IntelligenceX tools

# Threat intelligence
export OTX_API_KEY=your-key            # Increases AlienVault OTX rate limits
export ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY=your-key      # Enables 4 AbuseIPDB tools
export ABUSECH_AUTH_KEY=your-key       # Higher rate limits for abuse.ch suite
export PULSEDIVE_API_KEY=your-key      # Higher rate limits for Pulsedive

# Stealer logs & credentials
export HUDSONROCK_API_KEY=your-key     # Enables 3 Hudson Rock stealer log tools

# Exploit & malware analysis
export VULNERS_API_KEY=your-key        # Enables Vulners search & exploit tools
export HYBRID_API_KEY=your-key         # Enables 3 Hybrid Analysis malware tools

# Phishing
export PHISHTANK_API_KEY=your-key      # Higher rate limits for PhishTank

# Tor SOCKS5 proxy (for .onion access)
export TOR_SOCKS_HOST=127.0.0.1       # Default: 127.0.0.1
export TOR_SOCKS_PORT=9050            # Default: 9050

All API keys are optional. Without them, you still get ransomware tracking, breach listings, GreyNoise, blockchain intelligence, OTX, Tor exit node checks, onion search, CIRCL onion lookup, and more.

Start querying

You: "Check if example.com has been in any data breaches and look for stealer logs"

That's it. The agent handles breach lookups, credential searches, threat correlation, and more automatically.

       -> intelx_search {term: "example.com"}
       -> "example.com appears in 5 known breaches:
          - ExampleDB 2023: 4.2M records (emails, passwords, IPs)
          - Collection #1: credential stuffing list
          - Combolist 2024: 890K email:password pairs
          Stealer logs: 23 compromised machines with saved credentials
          for example.com found in Hudson Rock database.
          IntelligenceX: 47 results across paste sites and dark web."

Ransomware Tracking

You: "What ransomware groups are targeting healthcare?"

Agent: -> ransomwareBySector {sector: "healthcare"}
       -> ransomwareRecent {}
       -> ransomlookRecent {}
       -> "Healthcare sector ransomware activity:
          142 victims across 12 groups in the last 12 months.
          Top groups: LockBit3 (38 victims), BlackCat/ALPHV (24),
          Cl0p (19), Royal (15).
          Most recent: MedCorp Inc. listed by LockBit3 (2 days ago).
          3 new healthcare victims in the last week across
          ransomware.live and RansomLook feeds."

Dark Web Recon

You: "Search for mentions of our company on .onion sites"

Agent: -> tor_search_onion {query: "AcmeCorp"}
       -> intelx_search {term: "acmecorp.com"}
       -> onion_lookup {address: "relevant-onion-address.onion"}
