CyberChef MCP Server

GCHQ's Cyber Swiss Army Knife, as tools an AI assistant can call — 504 operations for encryption, encoding, compression and forensics.

Run it in one line

Terminal window
docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/doublegate/cyberchef-mcp_v3:3.1.0

Then point any MCP client at it. See the user guide.

504 operations, ~24 tools

tools/list is an index by default — about 3,400 tokens rather than 98,000. Every operation stays reachable through cyberchef_bake and the navigation tools.

Protocol revision 2026-07-28

Served alongside the 2025 era from one set of handlers, on stdio, HTTP and a socket binding. Existing clients are unaffected.

This reference is generated

The tool reference is built from the same OperationConfig.json the server reads, so it cannot disagree with the running server.
