MCP server for maigret – provides username search & URL-analysis tools for OSINT via the Model Context Protocol
https://github.com/BurtTheCoder/mcp-maigretStop manually checking dozens of platforms for username availability or digital footprint analysis. This MCP server brings the power of maigret—a battle-tested OSINT tool—directly into Claude, letting you search across hundreds of social networks and websites with a single command.
As a developer working on security research, brand monitoring, or digital investigations, you know the pain of manually checking usernames across platforms. You've probably built scrapers, written scripts, or clicked through sites one by one. MCP-Maigret eliminates that entirely.
Instead of context-switching between tools and terminals, you can now run comprehensive username searches and URL analysis directly in your AI conversations. Ask Claude to "search for this username across social platforms" and get structured results in whatever format your pipeline needs—JSON for automation, PDF for reports, or HTML for sharing.
Comprehensive Coverage: Search across hundreds of platforms automatically. No more wondering if you missed that one obscure site where the target has a profile.
Multiple Output Formats: Get results as JSON for your scripts, PDF for client reports, CSV for spreadsheets, or even XMind maps for investigation visualization. The same search, formatted for whatever comes next in your workflow.
Docker-Based Reliability: No dependency hell or environment conflicts. The underlying maigret tool runs in a container, so it works consistently whether you're on macOS, Linux, or Windows.
AI-Native Integration: Unlike standalone OSINT tools, this integrates directly with your AI workflow. You can ask follow-up questions, cross-reference findings, or generate reports based on the results—all in the same conversation.
Security Research: "Check if this username appears on any data breach forums or dark web marketplaces." Get comprehensive results without manually visiting dozens of sites.
Brand Monitoring: "Search for variations of our company name across social platforms." Identify potential trademark issues or impersonation attempts before they become problems.
Digital Investigation: "Analyze this URL and search for any associated usernames." Perfect for investigating suspicious links or tracing digital footprints.
Penetration Testing: During reconnaissance phases, quickly map a target's digital presence across platforms without leaving obvious traces in browser logs.
The Docker-based architecture means setup is straightforward. Install via npm, point it to a reports directory, and restart Claude Desktop. No Python virtual environments to manage, no conflicting dependencies—just add the server to your Claude config and you're running comprehensive OSINT searches.
The server handles all the complexity of executing maigret in containers, managing output formats, and error handling. You focus on the investigation, not the tooling.
Since it outputs structured data in multiple formats, MCP-Maigret fits into whatever workflow you already have. Pipe JSON outputs to your automation scripts, attach PDF reports to client deliverables, or import CSV data into your analysis tools.
The MCP integration means you're not just running isolated searches—you can correlate findings with other data sources, generate executive summaries, or build comprehensive investigation reports, all within the same AI conversation.
Install via Smithery for automatic Claude Desktop integration:
npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-maigret --client claude
Or set up manually with npm and your Claude config. Create a reports directory, add the server configuration, and restart Claude Desktop.
Within minutes, you'll be running comprehensive OSINT searches that would normally take hours of manual work. Your AI assistant becomes an investigation partner, not just a chat interface.
