What is the Air MCP MCP server?

Air mcp mcp server connects Air MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Binalyze AIR MCP Server.

What Air MCP does

A Node.js server implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Binalyze AIR, enabling natural language interaction with AIR's digital forensics and incident response capabilities.

This MCP server creates a bridge between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Binalyze AIR, allowing interaction through natural language. Retrieve information about your digital forensics environment without writing code or learning complex APIs.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 4 tools directly:

  • Claude — The Claude tool exposed by this server
  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • Windsurf — The Windsurf tool exposed by this server
  • VSCode — The VSCode tool exposed by this server

Installing the air mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: AIR_HOST, AIR_API_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Air MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Maintained by binalyze.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the air mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Air MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 4 tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Air MCP directly.
