MCP server that exposes Volatility 3 memory-forensics plugins (pslist, netscan, …) over a FastAPI REST interface so they can be consumed by MCP clients such as Claude Desktop.
https://github.com/Gaffx/volatility-mcpStop wrestling with command-line syntax and cryptic Volatility outputs. This MCP server connects Volatility 3's memory analysis directly to Claude Desktop, letting you investigate memory images through natural language conversations instead of memorizing plugin parameters.
You know the drill: vol.py -f memory.dmp windows.pslist works, but building complex analysis workflows means chaining commands, parsing outputs, and constantly referencing documentation. When you're deep in an incident response, the last thing you want is syntax roadblocks slowing down your investigation.
This MCP server eliminates that friction. Instead of:
vol.py -f suspicious.dmp windows.pslist | grep malware.exe
vol.py -f suspicious.dmp windows.netscan | grep -E "(ESTABLISHED|LISTENING)"
vol.py -f suspicious.dmp windows.pstree --pid 1337
You simply ask: "Show me the process tree for PID 1337 and check what network connections it established."
Incident Response: During a live investigation, ask Claude to correlate process data with network connections, identify parent-child relationships, and spot anomalous behaviors - all while maintaining conversation context across your entire analysis session.
Malware Analysis: Upload a memory dump and walk through the analysis conversationally: "What processes are running? Any suspicious network activity? Can you create a timeline of when these processes started?" Claude maintains context, so follow-up questions build on previous findings.
Training and Education: Teaching memory forensics becomes interactive. Students can explore memory images through guided conversations rather than getting lost in command syntax.
The setup connects your existing Volatility 3 installation with Claude Desktop:
Your Volatility expertise remains valuable - this just makes it more accessible and efficient.
This isn't just a REST wrapper around Volatility commands. The MCP integration means Claude can:
The roadmap includes Yara integration for malware scanning, multi-image analysis for lateral movement tracking, and expanded plugin support.
Perfect for security analysts, incident responders, and forensics researchers who want to spend more time analyzing threats and less time wrestling with tool syntax. Your expertise drives the investigation - the AI handles the command complexity.
