MCP(Model Context Protocol) FOR CYBERSECURITY

Archana S, Harish Kumar N, KeerthiRaghavan K, Liyander Rishawanth L

Abstract


The Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Cybersecurity Tools project transforms the open-source Gemini-CLI into a powerful, context-aware platform for cybersecurity applications. By addressing the challenge of maintaining persistent context in complex, multi-step cybersecurity workflows, MCP introduces a custom protocol that captures, stores, and intelligently reinjects task-relevant data.Integrated with a suite of industry-standard tools such as Nmap, Wireshark, Metasploit, sqlmap and more within a secure, sandboxed environment, the modified Gemini-CLI enables seamless automation of tasks like reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis, and exploitation simulation.
