Overview

What is ClamAV MCP?

ClamAV MCP is a simple Model Context Protocol server that allows scanning files for viruses using the ClamAV engine. It is built for developers or AI assistants (like Cursor) that need to check files for malware before further processing.

How to use ClamAV MCP?

First ensure ClamAV is installed on your system (see installation instructions for Ubuntu/Debian, Windows, or macOS). Then run the server with uv run mcp run main.py -t sse. It listens for SSE connections on port 8000 by default. To integrate with Cursor, add a configuration entry with the server’s URL pointing to http://[SERVER_IP]:8000/sse.

  • Provides a single scan_file API endpoint.
  • Accepts file data as a Base64-encoded string.
  • Returns scan result, raw output, and error information.
  • Designed for use with AI assistants like Cursor.

Use cases of ClamAV MCP

Frequently asked questions

1

What does ClamAV MCP do?

It provides an MCP server that lets you scan files for viruses using the ClamAV antivirus engine. You send file data and a filename; the server runs `clamscan` and returns the result.

2

What are the system requirements?

ClamAV must be installed on the machine running the server. Installation commands are provided for Ubuntu/Debian (`apt-get`), Windows (official installer, add to PATH), and macOS (`brew install clamav`).

3

How do I start the ClamAV MCP server?

Run `uv run mcp run main.py -t sse` from the project directory. The server starts on port 8000 and accepts SSE connections.

4

Can I use ClamAV MCP with Cursor?

Yes. In your Cursor settings, add an MCP server entry with the URL `http://[SERVER_IP]:8000/sse` and name it, for example, "ClamAV Server".

5

What parameters does the `scan_file` endpoint expect?

It requires `base64_data` (Base64-encoded file bytes) and `filename` (a name for the file). It returns `success` (boolean), `result` (raw clamscan output), and `error` (message if failed).
